Rented Lennar Home - Ruckus system broadcasting recover.me

[ian_mcaninch]

We just moved into a Lennar home with a Ruckus system.  The system is has a recover.me ssid, but none of the passwords provided work, nor did the serial number off what I assume is the master access point (510).  Any ideas?  There's a modem/router that goes to a switch with three ethernet cables going off to the access points - one of which is about 15' in the air (I can reach the other two).  I'm not familiar with mesh systems but am half competent.  At the moment we have the modem going to a normal wireless router for some half-decent internet.  Sadly I can't plug anything directly into an access point - my laptops ethernet dongle is missing in the move.

By the way,  exactly fact that you have mesh enabled on your unleashed APs may be your  main problem.

If mesh is enabled on AP, to become a master AP, AP checks if it can reach Internet through wired interface -- as mesh APs can't be master AP.

If you have Internet disconnected at that moment, no AP will become a master and so nothing will work.

I can definitely disconnect the other two from the PoE switch and just set up one.  I think you're right about another deciding it's master - I think I saw a recover or configure.me from a different mac show up.

I am confused about the mesh setting though.  Isn't that the point?  Or are you saying the master isn't mesh but for the other two will become mesh?

Some progress - disconnected two AP and set up the third.  It's finally broadcasting but won't give me an IP address.  I plugged in a second AP back in but it isn't broadcasting.
