topic Cannot Connect to Configure.me in RUCKUS Support for Lennar Homes

Cannot Connect to Configure.me

hjkim1187 — Sun, 30 Jul 2023 05:21:59 GMT

I recently purchased a previously owned Lennar home and I am struggling to get RUCKUS set up. So far I have:
- Factory reset master AP (identified by solid green CTRL light)
- Connected 2 APs to one of 12 ports
- Connected coax -> ISP modem -> wireless router -> switch (one of 12 ports)
- Confirmed internet connection by wifi connection via router
wired connection from switch to computer
- Identified configure.me wifi connection

The step that I am having trouble is actually trying to connect to Configure.Me-XXXXXX network. I have tried both my iPhone, and Macbook without success. For the phone, it just constantly shows its attempt at connecting to the network. When I try to use RUCKUS Unleashed app, I get "You are connected to config.me however the connection to the Unleashed AP is not established yet..." For the laptop, after 20-30 seconds I get unable to connect to the wifi icon.

Since they are typically requested, I was going to upload photos of the switch set up and AP lights but for some reason the forum states "You do not have permission to upload images."

Thank you in advance for your assitance

Hi @hjkim1187

Based on the description, the light on AIR is off and the light on the Radio 5g shows Amber when the WAP is configured but no clients are connected to that specific radio or WAP (Which means the radio signal is on, but you have no devices connected (phone, computer so ion)).

Please verify the connections from the access points and ICX 7150 -C12 P that the cable seems to be in good conditions.

Also please check the connection between the ISP router to the Ruckus ICX7150 Switch, because if this connection it's not working you will never get internet connection, just the AP will be powering up, because the Switch will provide power only. The yellow ports must be connected to your AP and your ISP router.

Jayavidhya,

To my knowledge the cable between switch and AP are good. I checked back of AP and the cable is plugged into the port appropriately. I don't know how, outside of visual inspection, that the connection is good. I thought the AP getting power is a good indicator, is it not?

I have confirmed internet connection is good by directly plugging in my computer to one of the 12 ports on the switch.

Hi @hjkim1187

Please try to perform the physical factory reset of the access points using the below guide.

NOTE: To perform a factory reset correctly on one of the access points, you must disconnect the rest of your other access points from the "ICX-7150-switch". For example, if you have 3 access points, you should go to the switch and disconnect 2 of the cables to turn off the "2 access points" and only leave 1 connected with which we are going to work the factory reset once you configure the access point and make sure all is good, go ahead and reconnect the other Access Points back.

Jayavidhya,

I performed the AP reset as instructed twice. Again, Configure.MeXXXXXX pops up once AP resets but I am unable to connect to it using my phone or laptop.

Jayavidhya,

As mentioned on the very first post, that is the problem. Neither my phone OR computer can connect to the Configure.Me to even try to check in app or browser. My phone will be forever stuck on attempts to connect, and laptop gives me error saying it cannot connect.

Hi @hjkim1187

For further troubleshooting steps please share the screenshot of the error you are getting while trying to connect to Configure.Me.

Jayavidhya,

Below are the screenshots. Basically, the phone is stuck on a perpetual "connecting" icon, and the laptop says it cannot connect. I do have a computer that I can hardwire directly to the switch but I don't know if you can configure AP that way.

Hi @hjkim1187

Thanks for the response.

It seems like you are having trouble while connecting via SSID. If you can not connect via SSID you need to configure this via IP address you need to identify which IP address is using your Access Point then copy and paste it in a URL to start the setup via browser :

Jayavidhya,

I had difficulties with this method as well using my laptop but with my PC I was able to identify IP address and get into unleashed.ruckuswireless.com. It turns out the old Wifi Network was still on (I don't know how since I reset the switch and AP). I was able to remove it and set up my own.

The issue I am having now is that when I use the new Wifi network, devices connect fine (with good signal) but the internet access seems very spotty. At times it works at expected speed, but most of the time I cannot get any data through. It's not due to ISP since I can connect my PC to ICX switch and get internet working AND the wifi network via the router seem to work fine.

I wonder if it has anything to do with these 3 things?
1. The Configure.Me XXXXX network is still on for some reason
2. On GUI, switch is marked as disconnected.
3. Wifi on router still being active

Hi @hjkim1187

Please share the output of the following commands by following the below steps.

To fix this issue, we must identify the ‘current’ IP address assigned by your local router to the switch ICX-7150-C12P

I will leave you a guide on how to perform an IP scanner on your local network to identify the switch IP address very easily.

How to find my Ruckus “Devices IP address” using free applications:

https://community.ruckuswireless.com/t5/RUCKUS-Support-for-Lennar-Homes/How-to-find-my-Ruckus-Device...

Once we identify the IP address of the switch proceed to access remotely to the device “Command Line”

How to remotely access to 'ICX 7150-C12P' or 'access points' "Network devices":

https://community.ruckuswireless.com/t5/RUCKUS-Support-for-Lennar-Homes/How-to-remotely-access-to-IC...

If you can access the Command line should look like this:

Hi ALL,

I don't know why, but seems these few years no one from Ruckus can provide a correct and down to the earth method to figure out the secret password for the configure.me SSID after reset the AP. I hit this issue as well recently. Our ZD was dead, so we have to reset all AP and wanna to upgrade the firmware to unleashed. I did this exercise for a R510 already, finally it's now connected to the unleashed network even the overall process is so strange and tried many time. But now when I do the same thing for the R320, it's strange again... after reset back to factory setting, I can't sign in to the web portal with the default uid & pwd: super/sp-admin (I'm not yet upgrade the firmware but I can see the configure.me SSID already once reset the R320), I can use the default uid & pwd for my R510 before. That's why I suffering on the Internet to look for the default password for the configure.me SSID... some people said it's the serial no. of the AP, but I tried and tell you it doesn't work. I don't know why Ruckus side still no official document to tell the customer about the password.. seems it's really a top secret.... anyway, anyone can tell the us directly here what's the hell password for the configure.me SSID??? Thanks!

I am having the same issue and trying for 3 weeks to get just a little bit of help. Can I ask why ruckus dumps all Lennar customers into a category where ruckus refuses to help? You have to understand we are getting zero help from Lennar and little to no help from Ruckus. I just don’t understand why we are being ignored by being Lennar customers?!?!?

It can be frustrating when your iPhone shows it's connected to WiFi but refuses to access the internet. Here are some steps to troubleshoot the issue:-

Restart your iPhone and router:- This often resolves temporary glitches.
Toggle Airplane Mode:- Quickly turning Airplane Mode on and off can sometimes refresh the connection.
Forget and reconnect to WiFi:- Go to Settings > Wi-Fi, tap the network, and select "Forget This Network." Then reconnect.
Check for software updates:- Ensure your iPhone and router firmware are up-to-date.
Disable Wi-Fi Assist:- This feature might be causing issues. Go to Settings > Cellular and turn off "Wi-Fi Assist."
Reset Network Settings:- This will reset all network-related settings. Go to Settings > General > Transfer or Reset iPhone > Reset Network Settings.
