Hi, I bought my house from lennar with the ruckus system installed. But I changed my internet company recently to T-Mobile, and since then, my internet is working only where the T-Mobile tower is located. It’s Urgent please, because my tv, my Alexa, and everything else is not connected to the internet. Need URGENT SUPPORT. Thank 🙏🏻

Good morning,

Thanks for your reply. I have one switch : CX 7150-C12P
And 2 access points.

The access point in the ground floor has only one red light in the PWR.

The second access point (in upper floor where the switch is) has all green except the air, and the PWR is flashing green.

The switch lights are attached in a picture below .

My first question is about the right set up of the cables to the the switch after changing the internet company. The previous ATT modem was connected to the switch(don’t remember how), the actual T-Mobile 5G tower has to stand alone near a window!!!
the second question is : should I reset the switch and the access points to get this problem fixed. ( no internet in all the house except by wire).
Please advise.

Thanks and Best regards,
Btissam

Hi @Btissam

Thanks for your reply.

Based on the images you have shared it seems like the cable coming from the router has been wrongly connected.

Please make sure the cable is actually connected to the ICX-7150-C12P ( Switch ) In one of the 12 ports in the middle as mentioned below.

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

Best regards,

I did changed it, but this is not coming from the router, because I don’t have a router, I have a T-Mobile gateway that is located in a different room . The wire you asked me to change comes from her:

Should I bring the T-Mobile gateway tower next to the switch and connect it to it?

Thank you, I did the reset, and the light in the switch look all green ( picture attached). What should I do next please? Should I connect the T-Mobile gateway to the switch? I believe I need to reset the 2 access points as well , and reconfigure everything, but I don’t know how!

Hi @Btissam

Please try to factory reset the AP with the Red light as described below:

IMPORTANT NOTE: As you have two Access Points (APs) in your house, please make sure you only keep the affected AP ON and reset the same. Please go to the Ruckus Switch (located in the panel) and disconnect from its ports the Ethernet cables of the Working Access Point, except the one that you are going to work with (non-working).

Please read the following guide carefully:

Thank you, but can you PLEASE tell me if I should first connect the switch to My T-Mobile gateway tower with an internet cable???? Otherwise where is the switch going to get internet?
also is there a LINK where I can check the switch status and what is is connected to ?
PLEASE reply to all my questions in one message, I’ve been texting back and forth for the past 3 days, and I’m still with NO internet. I WISH I can speak to someone on the phone, we could have resolved this in 10min, now it will take 10 days 😖

Hi @Btissam

Sorry for the inconvenience.

To connect to internet the modem and a router must be connected to one of the 12 ports of the ICX 7150-C12p switch.

Note: It can be a 'modem' and 'router' or 'Modem router combo', it does not necessarily have to be 2 separate devices, you can ask to your ISP which devices they installed at your home to be sure.

Please follow the below guide for the basic setup for Lennar home users.

https://community.ruckuswireless.com/t5/RUCKUS-Support-for-Lennar-Homes/Most-common-Setups-for-Lennar-homes-users/td-p/47106

Once you are confirmed with the connection please do factory reset the AP with the Red light as described below:

Hi @Btissam

Thanks for your response.

Based on the description, the light on the Radios 2.4 and 5g shows Amber when the WAP is configured but no clients are connected to that specific radio or WAP.

Please try the following troubleshooting steps.

1. Hard reset the AP using a paper clip to factor default it. Press and hold the FD pinhole for 40 secs.

2. Create a Test SSID

3. Try to connect any client to the SSID.

Note: In case the client doesn't connect to 5GHz, then for testing, disable 2.4 GHz radio on the AP and try to connect to the AP on 5GHz to verify if the client is getting associated and the LED turns Green.

Please try the above mentioned steps to see whether the lights turn green or not.

Best regards,

Jayavidhya

Can I have someone call me pleaaaaase. The forum back and forward messages take forever! I called Ruckus but since I’m with Lennar, they refused to help me. Lennar should have a customer service department for her clients to help with the maintenance of the the ruckus system after initial installation. Not just install it and not care about us any more. The forum is not enough and very frustrating when you need quick response or instruction. Please HELP.
