AP stopped working after recent update, no longer turning on

RMontes925 — Sun, 11 Jun 2023 02:36:09 GMT

I need to have my APs replaced as they no longer power on after recent updates. I have tried connecting them directly to the Switch via new cable and nothing happens still. Both APs have same issue, leaving me effectively without wifi in my home. I want to start the process of a warranty replacement but understand in order to receive urgent replacement (I work from home), I have to submit another post. Or call. But you don't accept Lennar customer calls anymore.

I've been having issues with them for 3 weeks off and on, limiting my ability to do work. Last night there was a power failure for 90 minutes and other items connected to my switch are fine (kevo, ring). My APs remain lifeless

Hi @RMontes925

Greetings!!!

Thank you for contacting RUCKUS Lennar Home Community.

Hope you are doing well!!!

Thank you for the information you shared.

As per the case description, I could understand that your RUCKUS setup is not working, and Access Points do not have power.

Could you please let us know the answers to the below queries to assist you better?

1. Was this working before or is it a new installation? If it worked before, was there any power outage before you started facing this issue?

2. On your switch while it's plugged into the outlet, do you see any lights on? (Amber or green) Please let us know which lights are on. (Please refer to the below picture and share a picture of the same, showing the light status and the cable connections to the Switch ports)

3. Is your Internet Connection from the Internet Service Provider (ISP) stable and working? (You could check this by connecting to your local router Wi-Fi or from an ethernet cable from Router to a laptop/PC).

4. May I know how many Access Points are connected to the Switch? Could you please let me know the light status on the Access Points? Any of these lights are on (Please refer to the below picture and share a picture of the same)

Please help us with pictures of your ICX-7150-C12P Switch showing the status of the lights and cable connections to the Switch ports. Also, light the status of Access Points.

Before uploading the photos please log in to the RUCKUS account and you can upload the image.

Please let us know the answers to ALL the above queries or let us know if you have any queries in this regard.

Thank you again for your patience and understanding.

Best regards,

1. This was not a new installation. The system was installed and activated in July 2018, when I purchased my new home from Lennar. I live in Northern California and have had frequent power outages due to storms. The only thing I could think that would have caused this recent outage is the update on YOUR end. As of June 1st, my access points have been dead.

2. See photo below for switch lights. Only two lights are lit on my Switch: SYS and PWR

3. My wireless internet (provided by ATT) is working. Other items plugged into my Switch are also working (ie Kevo, Ring)

4. I have two access points connected to the switch. Both are not lit at all. I disconnected one and reconnected it using a brand new ethernet cable to a different port and didn't light up. Even tried to connect to a power source and nothing happened.

As seen from the photos, my access point is completely dead. The 2nd access point looks identical. I removed it from it's mount on the ceiling, plugged it in directly to the switch using an ethernet cable, and nothing happened. I had a systems engineer look at my Ruckus *at my own expense* to see if there was something to be done, and he evaluated that the access points are dead as well. That said, I understand that Ruckus has lifetime warranties on their products, and as my Ruckus is original to the home where I am the original owner, I should qualify for a replacement of my two access points. As detailed in my previous post, this is causing a disturbance to my quality of life as well as a financial burden, since my wifi dead zone includes my home office. Please advise how to proceed to replace access points.

Hi @RMontes925

Thank you for the response and sharing the detailed information.

As per the light status of your ICX-7150-C12P Switch, seems to be working normal.

To check and fix the issues, we may need to check the Switch ports and some other information from the CLI access. To check the same, please follow the below steps and help us with the output of the CLI commands mentioned in this post below.

Please follow the below steps and help us with the queries,

1. To check 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-Devices-IP-address-using-free-applications/td-p/47027

2. 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-ICX-7150-12P-or-access-points-quot/td-p/47388

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

ICX7150-C12 Router> OR

ICX7150-C12 Switch>

Please enter the below commands once you log in to CLI and share the output.

Note: Hit Enter to accept each command

enable

show version

show flash
show inline power
show inline power detail

Please share the output of the above commands or share the screenshots if stuck at any step or error (if any) and let me know if you have any queries in this regard.

Thank you again for your patience and understanding.

Best regards,

While I appreciate the links you sent me, I don't have a degree in computer programming. I need the information in plain English if I am supposed to troubleshoot this on my end. As you can see, I tried using both methods to access the Switch. My IP address was NOT listed as you'd mentioned (mine is listed as On ICX7150-C12-Switch 192.168.1.66 Brocade Communications Systems LLC 78:A6:E1:40:30:2C). I tried both Putty and MobaXterm, trying both TelNet and SSH options, and neither worked. Telnet would let me get in but since there were no commands you'd offered, I was left trying to decipher what I was supposed to do on my own. A wonderful way to spend 2 hours in extreme frustration.

Hi @RMontes925

Thank you for the detailed information you shared,

As I can see from the information you shared, the PoE is in the disabled state on all the ports of the Switch (Please refer to the below screenshot). By which the Access Points are unable to get the power.

To enable the PoE on the Switch, please perform the below commands from the CLI:

Switch>enable
No password has been assigned yet...
Switch#configure terminal
Switch(config)#interface ethernet 1/1/1 to 1/1/12
Switch(config-mif-1/1/1-1/1/12)#inline power

Also attaching a Screenshot as a reference:

Once you perform the above process all ports should be On, and APs should get the power.

To avoid these issues in the future, I would like to suggest upgrading your Switch to the latest stable version, as your current Switch is on the old version which is SPS08061a (As marked in the below screenshot). Please let me know once you are done with the above process, to assist you with the upgrading of the Switch.

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

NOTE: Please feel free to mark the post as ACCEPTED SOLUTIONS.

Thank you again for your patience.

Best regards,

I've attached a screenshot showing my CLI: all ports are on but my APs are still showing nothing. No lights are lit still. I'm willing to try a system update on my Switch, but as of now, I'm lead to believe my APs are dead, as I originally suggested.

Hi @RMontes925

Thank you for the update.

After performing the commands, we shared in the last post should work for the issue you had.

As you can see from the below screenshot, your APs took time to power on due to a voltage issue. This is due to a voltage issue and is not related to any device.

And when the voltage is stable your Access Points were able to get the power as we can see from the other screenshot you shared.

Thank you again for understanding.
