Just moved into 2018 Lennar home with R510 access point - no longer supported

Following the Community advice I downloaded the Ruckus Unleashed app to my phone, factory reset the master R510 access point, connected to the Configure.Me-xxxxx WiFi network, the app acknowledged I was connected to the network, then I hit start and received a message saying "AP version not supported. Please upgrade your AP." (see image attached). 

Can someone help me with next steps?  I was never connected to the network before resetting because it required the previous owner's login credentials.  Appreciate any advice you can give.

Thank you for the response.  I initially turned off the 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz Wireless Networks; however, the internet disconnection issue continued. I then went back in and also disabled the Wireless 802.11 Radio (for both 2.4 and 5 GHz) and changed the 2.4 GHz Channel to 6.  Hopefully this will solve the issue. 

If you don't mind keeping the case open for a few more days so I can test the new configurations, I'd appreciate it.

Thanks,

Matt

Hello @wehttam77 ,

Thank you for your response.

I will keep the case open and await further updates from your side.
Please keep us informed as the situation progresses.

Thank you for your patience and understanding.

I'm still having the issue after my last modifications.  Any next steps you can suggest would be greatly appreciated.  

Here is my modem's event log:

And here is the Unleashed event log:

Hello @wehttam77

Thank you for the response.

We understand that you are still having slower speed issues while accessing through Ruckus devices

Achieving the maximum speed from the Wi-Fi Access Points may not always be possible due to several factors, including:

  • Ethernet Cable Quality: The quality of the Ethernet cables used to connect the Access Points to the Switch (e.g., Cat5, Cat5e, or Cat6) can affect performance. Sometimes, defective or substandard Ethernet cables between the ISP Router, RUCKUS Switch, and RUCKUS Access Points may cause speed limitations.
  • Interference from Other Devices: Many household electronic devices, such as microwaves, baby monitors, security cameras, garage door openers, and cordless phones, operate on the 2.4 GHz frequency, which can cause interference and reduce Wi-Fi speeds.
  • Distance and Placement: The distance between the Access Points and the device accessing the Internet can impact the signal strength and speed. Additionally, the placement of Access Points within the home can also influence performance, with walls and other obstructions potentially reducing signal quality.

It appears that the Access Points (APs) are now functioning normally. The observed speed variations may be attributed to several factors, such as RF interference and the distance between the device and the AP.

To clarify, a 2.4 GHz connection generally provides longer range but at lower speeds, whereas 5 GHz frequencies offer faster speeds but cover shorter distances. The choice between 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz is often determined automatically by the end device (such as phones, PCs, Ring doorbells, Mac devices, iPhones). Additionally, network configuration (Wi-Fi/SSID/WLAN) may specify whether the network supports only 2.4 GHz, only 5 GHz, or both.

It's also worth noting that many electronic devices and appliances, such as microwaves, baby monitors, security cameras, garage door openers, and phones, operate on the 2.4 GHz frequency, which can contribute to interference. Screenshot below for the reference.

The issue I’m having is not with speed of internet.  It’s with completely losing internet connection all together. I thought you were aware that this was the issue as we’ve discussed repeatedly over the past several weeks. 
I had Xfinity (ISP) out to the house yesterday and he didn’t find any issues with wiring to the modem; however, I did purchase a new modem just to be sure and will be installing it this evening after work. I’ll let you know whether it solves the issue. If not, the only other culprit is the ICX switch or the APs.
