Can connect new device

Greetings.

i have brought home a new work laptop as I have through out the years and will get very low connectivity. When I reached out to spectrum they always have “reset” modem and router and it has worked for the Ruckus system to then recognize it to the nearest access point. This computer for some reason no matter what I do will not connect to the ruckus. I have all other 19 devices and other dells that are all registering as a client. I did notice my other dell comes up as a client but not to a specific access point. I have reset the modem router and all access points. I don’t know what else to do. I’m up to date with all software on ruckus as well. If there is something I can change as a setting on this dell to allow it to be recognized that would be ideal. It’s not the system as it connects but needs an access point to have a strong enough signal to not have to be on the exact same door as the router. The whole point of these access points! Again. All other new and old devices are connected and recognized so I would love to know a work around or a known issue with newest dell precisions that would not be able to be recognized on an access point. Thank you.

Based on the information provided, it appears that your Laptop is not getting listed in the RUCKUS Access Points client list.

Could you please let me know if you can connect to the RUCKUS Access Point’s Wi-Fi network on this laptop?

If yes, you can check the laptop's MAC address in the Access Points Unleashed client list.

Please help me with the above queries.

Yes. I have tried to connect and it will not to any access point in the house. What is odd is I have 11 clients and only 9 appear now on each access point and I wonder if it would be my extender that I had to purchase that would be hidden?

Hi @ECI 

Thank you for the response and the information.

Based on the picture you shared, it appears that one of the Device’s Ethernet cables is connected to the incorrect port on the RUCKUS ICX-7150-C12P Switch. The cable should be connected to one of the 1-12 ports on the switch (please refer to the screenshots below). Kindly unplug the cable and reconnect it to the appropriate port. Once done, check your internet connection after some time.

Please let me know about the outcome.

Thank you again for your patience and understanding.

Hi @ECI 

Thank you for your response.

There’s no cause for concern, as this is part of the redundant coverage design and may also serve as a failover mechanism.

The Access Point is online, syncing properly, and visible in the Unleashed dashboard, which indicates it is functioning as expected.

I hope this clarifies your concern.

Thank you once again.

I moved the ethernet to a 1-12 port but when I did, another AP went offline. Would this possibly mean the ethernet connection is shot? All the power lights on said AP are lit and seems to be powered successfully - but all the clients dropped off. I am having someone come and replace/repair the ethernet end- Once repaired- Do I need to do anything special or if that was the correct fix can I plug it back in the same number port and should be good to go? After this issue is resolved I will plan to do the factory reset as this specific PORT is my master that you had recommended I reset. After the ethernet repair do I need to reboot anything or just plug back in?
