I have bought an R720 from Ebay. I have tried many times to factory reset it using the button. Then the device successfully obtains IP address from DHCP, and I can log in using the default credentials (super/sp-admin) for one time (!), and all I see is a restricted UI showing me:
"Software Version: 5.1.1.0.3048" and also that "A Ruckus SCG is managing this device."
And I can't go anywhere from here to change the firmware to standalone or unleashed (which I wanted to do originally). Can anyone kindly suggest me where can I go from here?
Thanks in advance.

Hi B0mb,
Pls ssh into it and use command set-factory, then you will be able to change the firmware.

Abi,
I have tried that the ssh session looked like this:
login as: super
Please login: super
password :
Copyright(C) 2018 Ruckus Wireless, Inc. All Rights Reserved.
** Ruckus R720 Multimedia Hotzone Wireless AP: 3617xxxxxxx
rkscli: set factory
Factory defaults will take effect after reboot
OK
rkscli: reboot
Oops! "Reboot" is waiting for firmware update to finish....
OK
Then it rebooted and it's back to same version after factory and reboot:
rkscli: get version
Ruckus R720 Multimedia Hotzone Wireless AP
Version: 5.1.1.0.3048

Ruckus R720 Multimedia Hotzone Wireless AP
Version: 5.1.1.0.3048
EDIT:
This AP behaves really strange to me... after I manually reset it using the reset switch or the CLI as shown above, it "somehow" updates the firmware and reboots once again and then I cannot login with the default credentials anymore. If I scan the AP from the switch using LLDP it shows such information:
System Name: Reception AP-3617xxxxxxxxx
System Description: Ruckus R720 Multimedia Hotzone Wireless AP/SW Version: 5.1.1.0.3048
Weird, eh?
