2 ACCEPTED SOLUTIONS

Hi  @Timyee19 

Greetings!

Thank you for your response and the update.

Please follow the mentioned steps, and please execute Configuration Commands

Once the upgrade is complete, please proceed with the following steps:

1. Launch PuTTY from your laptop.

2. Connect via SSH:

  • Open PuTTY.
  • In the “Host Name (or IP address)” field, enter: 192.168.1.177 (based on information you provided).
  • Enter your username and password when prompted.

3. Run the following commands:
(Please replace your Wi-Fi name” with your actual Wi-Fi/SSID name, enclosed in double quotes if it contains spaces)

ruckus> en

ruckus# config

ruckus(config)# wlan "your Wi-Fi name"

ruckus(config-wlan)# no qos directed-multicast

ruckus(config-wlan)# qos directed-threshold 0

ruckus(config-wlan)# end

ruckus(config)# end

ruckus(config-wlan)# qos directedDHCP disable

 

This configuration should help resolve the issue.

 

Here’s an example of PuTTY command line output from my lab for reference: (Bold fonts are commands to execute)

Once done with the commands, please reconnect your SONOS setup and check. 

Please let me know how it goes or if you need any further assistance.

Thank you once again for your patience and cooperation.

Hi @Timyee19 

Thank you for the response and the update.

The error message:

“Unable to negotiate with 192.168.1.177 port 22: no matching host key type found. Their offer: ssh-rsa”

means that your macOS SSH client does not accept the ssh-rsa key type by default anymore (due to security deprecation in newer versions of OpenSSH), but the server only offers ssh-rsa.

Fix Options

Option 1: Allow ssh-rsa temporarily via CLI

Add the command: -oHostKeyAlgorithms=+ssh-rsa option when connecting:

ssh -oHostKeyAlgorithms=+ssh-rsa user@192.168.1.177

Replace user with your actual username.

 

Option 2: Allow ssh-rsa permanently for this host

Edit or create (if it doesn’t exist) your SSH config file:

nano ~/.ssh/config

 

Add the following block:

Host 192.168.1.177

   HostKeyAlgorithms +ssh-rsa

   PubkeyAcceptedAlgorithms +ssh-rsa

Save and exit (Ctrl + X, then Y, then Enter).

Try connecting again:

ssh user@192.168.1.177

 

 

Why does this happen?

Newer versions of OpenSSH (8.8 and above) disable ssh-rsa by default due to its dependence on SHA-1, which is considered weak.

Let me know how it goes.

Thank you again for your patience and understanding.

Hi @Timyee19

Hi. 
Is there a way to help distinguish if my set up is? 

Hi @Timyee19 
Greetings!!!

Thank you for the response.

Is it a home RUCKUS device setup from Lennar Homes or a Work setup (Enterprise Customer)?

Thanks! This is a home ruckus setup.
