Wifi network with Ruckus not showing up

cpphan — Wed, 16 Aug 2023 16:10:42 GMT

My Ruckus extended wifi network hasn't been working for several months and I'm just finally getting around to trying to get it resolved. I have internet through AT&T and initially, all the wifi was down and their support said the issue came from the Ruckus extender, so after we unplugged it the issue was resolved.

However, now I have the Ruckus plugged back in, but the wifi network isn't showing up. I've tried to factory reset the Ruckus ICX 7150-C12P in order to try to get the Configure network to show up, but that doesn't show up either.

What am I doing wrong or missing?

Hi, thanks for the follow-up info. So actually, I was able to get the Ruckus connected properly and the extended Ruckus network shows up for me now. However, when I'm connected to the extended network, it shows that I have strong network and am connecting, but I have trouble loading a lot of websites. This is the case on my desktop as well as on my phone when I try to browse the internet or load/use some of my apps.

On my web browser, when I go to websites, it takes a really long time to initially load up a website (even though wifi speed check shows that i'm getting speeds of 400+mbps for download). However, when I switch back to the main internet network that isn't the Ruckus network, all the websites and content loads back up immediately.

Have you come across this before? What's causing this issue?

Hi @cpphan

Thanks for your detailed description,

Please confirm if the issue is happening while it is connected to access points or when it is connected to ISP router.

Please follow out the next steps.

1. Connect the computer to the ISP router with the ethernet cable. Run the speed test, and confirm if your speed is stable and search for websites, make sure you have no issues.

2. You can perform the same step on wireless by connecting the computer to the Wi-Fi / SSID coming from the ISP router. (Note: Not the Wi-Fi coming from the access points.)

Please let us know if you have any queries in this regard.

Best regards,

When I connect to the extended wifi network, i was able to confirm that the wifi connection is stable and fast. I did a screen recording of a very common scenario I run into when connected to this network just to show you.

Hi @cpphan

Thanks for your response.

Based on your description, it looks like your switch (ICX7150 switch) may be booting from the secondary partition (NOTE: Secondary partition contains the routing code) which is causing the bad connectivity issues. This could happen after multiple power outages, please follow up the next guide.

Note: if you have access to the Unleashed Dashboard and the Switch can be seen from there, it may look like the following image, ICX7150-C12-Router instead of ICX7150-C12-Switch, now before starting the steps of the guide, I will advise you to cable the computer directly to the Switch, since you will have a better connectivity than if you connect via wireless.

After fixing the issue of the Switch booting from the wrong partition, please perform an upgrade to the code 08095g UFI and upgrade both partitions primary and secondary with the switching code file named SPS08095gufi.bin, take into consideration that is the Switch is running a code lower than 08080 you need to upgrade twice, from the code you are to 08080f and then the recommended code 08095g UFI.

So when I'm in the Unleashed Dashboard and go to the Switches and add/update the IP, it tries to connect, but gives me an error message saying "*Unleashed system only supports ICX firmware version 08.0.90 or later."

I then go to to Administration > Upgrade and then select to upgrade. Once it goes through the process of downloading and processing, as soon as it completes, the wifi network goes down and then I lose it. I went through the process twice with the same result.

It's not letting me upload pictures, so here's some links to screenshots I took.
