I had a power outage 2 weeks ago and when power was finally restored my Ruckus was fried. No connectivity to any of the multiple devices I have. Just had a tech leave after running tests on it and he confirmed it is fried and needs replacing. Can anyone help me here with arranging this. Also no power to the 2 extenders as well. Everything is dark.

Thank you for your quick reply. I have attached a picture and both green/amber lights are solid and that’s all that is happening. No outward power is running from any port or the items that need to be using this router. No power running to either extender also from the power outage.IMG_0754.jpeg

Hi @Logan11 

Greetings!

Thank you for your response and the update.

Based on the image you shared, the RUCKUS switch is showing an amber SYST LED, which typically indicates that the switch is stuck in boot mode.

Thank you for your detailed instructions. Sadly the reboot with the paperclip did not work after 48 times trying. So I went for the reinstall of the software. Another problem there. New computers (MAC) do not have ports for anything other than USB C. No Ethernet ports. 

The instructions are showing and stating I need both for the completion of reinstallation. So now where do we go from here? All lights are blinking Amber still but without a Ethernet port how do we proceed from here?

Thank you and standing by
