Borrowed a PC to update Ruckus switch.

Gunner — Sat, 04 Apr 2026 08:10:06 GMT

After having gone thru the inspection and review process with Lennar support last fall I was unable to use my Mac to update the Ruckus 7150 switch. I've borrowed a PC from my neighbor who also has never updated his switch. Both were installed at the same time, so fixing one could lead to fixing the other. Neither of us know our passwords for our respective switches and its been years since I've used a PC so my skills on it are very limited. We've got one week left before we head for home for 6 months, so any help would be very helpful. Thanks.

Hi @Gunner

Thank you for the response.

Let me help you step by step. If there is any issue we will check for a alternate.

Could you please provide the following information:

1. Can you confirm if your RUCKUS setup is currently operational without upgrade?
2. When your switch is connected to the outlet, do you observe any illuminated lights (amber or green)? Kindly describe which lights are visible. Additionally, please provide a photo showing the status of the lights and the full switch panel with cable connections to the switch ports.

3. Is your internet connection from the ISP stable and functioning? You can verify this by connecting to your local router's Wi-Fi or through an ethernet cable from the router to a laptop/PC.
4. How many access points are currently connected to the switch? Please describe the status of the lights on the access points. Similarly, include a photo showing the access points' light status.

Please log into your RUCKUS Account before uploading these photos/screenshots.

Should you have any further questions or concerns, feel free to reach out.

We appreciate your cooperation and look forward to resolving this matter for you promptly.

We were able to update the extender with my Mac and you said you'd set up a meeting once we got our hands on a PC. The wireless is working okay in its current state. I've only got this week before leaving for 6 months.

You may recall you and I spent a considerable amount of time last fall working on this.
