Solved: RUCKUS Forums - Re: How Manage Ruckus Access Points on unmanaged s... - Page 3

Issue: Due to constant ruckus switch outages, I would like to replace the switch with non-ruckus unmanaged POE switch (Steamemo 8 Port Gigabit PoE Switch Built-in Power,Unmanaged Metal Plug and Play).

Questions:

1. Once I plug the Ruckus APs into the new switch, is there any way to manage the APs or would I need to move them back to the Ruckus switch if I need to update or reconfigure the APs?

2. Is there a way to test if I'm connecting to an AP and not directly to the Fios Router?

Found the answers:

1. You can still access the Ruckus management interface through the Ruckus APs even if the Ruckus switch is removed from the network. From the interface, you can manage the APs. To get to the interface, you need to browse to the IP address of any one of the connected Ruckus APs (the AP IP addresses can be found from your router management page or by typing arp -a in cmd line).

2. Yes, give the APs a different name (ssid) than your Router WiFi SSID. Then connect to the AP SSID. If you connect to that AP SSID, you're connected to the APs
