Momentary dropouts in WI-FI signal from R510s every 1-2 minutes

clay_coleman — Fri, 02 Dec 2022 17:51:41 GMT

Hi,

We have 2x R510 APs (one upstairs/one downstairs) and my wife's colleagues kept telling her she was dropping out momentarily every minute or so on TEAMS video calls. We've replicated this on Google Meet and Zoom also. Finally, we ran an ethernet cable directly from the Ruckus switch and that solved the issue. We also notice that our Wi-Fi TV (used with Dish Network) has momentary dropouts during all programming. This happens about every 1-2 minutes. Is there a diagnosis for this (i.e. firmware update etc.). The units were installed in Aug 2018 in a new Lennar home.

Hi @clay_coleman

Hope you are doing well!

If there was a blackout or power outage and the switch reboot because of that, most possible your switch starts running the wrong code which we call ‘routing code’ this is a know issue.

An identifier of this problem is that it comes out as Switch-Router in the unleashed dashboard.

There we are going to see 2 important things the

MAC address: Physical address of the device this never changes

The IP address is a logical address assigned by your local router (ISP) to the device (this can change and may not be the same as the one shown on the dashboard)

1- To fix this issue, we must identify the IP address of the switch 'currently'

-We can try the IP address that shows in the dashboard copy and paste it in the URL if that redirects you to the login page for the ICX-7150-C12P that is the correct one if not.

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

2-Once we identified the IP address of the switch proceed to access remote to the device 'command Line'

How to remotely access to 'ICX 7150-12P' or 'access points' "Network devices"

https://community.ruckuswireless.com/t5/RUCKUS-Support-for-Lennar-Homes/How-to-remotely-access-to-ICX-7150-12P-or-access-points-quot/td-p/47388

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

ICX7150-C12 Router>

3-Here is a quick guide to understand how to fix the 'routing code issue' but basically you need only need to run the following commands once you are on the command line 'CLI'

Note: Hit Enter to accept each command

enable

copy flash flash secondary

boot system flash secondary yes

example:

ICX7150-24P Router>enable (hit enter to accept the command)
ICX7150-24P Router#copy flash flash secondary (hit enter to accept the command and wait: until the flash finished )
ICX7150-24P Router#boot system flash secondary yes ( hit enter to accept the command : the switch will reboot )

4-If the access via IP address is not possible here is a guide how to access to the Switch via console (cable access between your PC to the ICX 7150-C12P) in this case we need a USB type C to USB standard or Console cable Rj45 to USB.

Hi @clay_coleman

In order to access you must be connected to the Unleashed network, now if the website does not work try with the IP address of one of your access points, let me add the guide to discover the IP address of the access points, finally you can also see with the Unleashed Application.

If you don't know the credentials, try the combination:

Username: Passwords:

admin sp-admin

Lennar

lennar

ruckus

Ruckus!

Ruckus1

admin

password

Hi, I’m able to connect to both APs through the Unleashed dashboard but unfortunately none of the User name & PW combos work on the switch. Do you have detailed instructions on resetting the switch password?

Yarenis — Fri, 02 Dec 2022 22:54:58 GMT

Hi @clay_coleman

Ok, just to be clear when you're typing the credential for the Switch are you trying from the Unleashed APP to attempting to add the switch, or because you have the IP address of the Switch and you are trying to access via web?

Note: Please provide a screenshot.

I found the IP address for both APs and the Switch. I can access both the APs, but not the switch. I am trying to access via the web by typing in 192.168.1.102 in my browser. It takes me to a Ruckus ICX 7150 - C12P page and says to click "Login". When I do a sign-in box pops up to enter the username and password. I've tried every combo that you suggested and none of them work. I tried to upload screen shots, but it says I don't have permission to upload images here.

Sorry, it wouldn't let me before because I'd been logged out. Here are the screen shots.

Hi @clay_coleman

Try the same credentials as your Unleashed APP, if still no working console access is required and perform a step named password recovery to skip the password and create a new one.

1:Try the same credentials as the Unleashed APP

2:Gain console access:

I plugged the USB to USB-C cable into the switch, and Windows is telling me it can't update the CP2104 USB to UART Bridge Controller... do you have the correct driver for this?

Re: Momentary dropouts in WI-FI signal from R510s every 1-2 minutes

clay_coleman — Wed, 07 Dec 2022 01:52:30 GMT

Hi, I was able to download the drivers for the USB to UART Bridge Controller and connect through the PuTTY Terminal. I followed the video step-by-step to reboot the switch and enter Bootloader mode. After the PoE starts to enable the ports, then the following keeps repeating: "TFTP Session timed out". If I type in "conf t", I get to (config) mode and enter "enable super-user password super" it tells me Invalid Input-> super; I tried "password" also and get the same error. See screen shot:

Hi @clay_coleman

Hope you are doing well !

Here is the correct way to create a username 'super' and password 'pass' as example

ICX7150-48ZP Router(config)#username super password pass

Here is a short guide from a external website

https://luiscachog.io/configure-ruckus-switch/

You do not have to be worry about the ' TFTP session time out ' that's normal is trying to get a configuration file from the TFTP server but there is no response from the TFTP server.
