Replace AP For Faster Speed

[Spopky]

Hi I have frontier 1 gig service but the tech told me I am limited by the access points that came with my Lennar home. I was looking to upgrade the access points but I’m not sure what my options are that will work with the ruckus switch. I think the access points might be the R510 but not positive. The faster ruckus access points are pretty pricey compared to some options on Amazon. Does anyone know what my options are here? Thanks!

Hi @Spopky 

Greetings of the day,

Please confirm if the issue is happening while it is connected to access points or when it is connected to ISP router. 

Please follow out the next steps.

1. Connect the computer to the ISP router with the ethernet cable. Run the speed test, and confirm if your speed is stable and search for websites,  make sure you have no issues.

2. You can perform the same step on wireless by connecting the computer to the Wi-Fi / SSID coming from the ISP router. (Note: Not the Wi-Fi coming from the access points.)

Please let us know if you have any queries in this regard.

Best regards,

It seems that I get slightly higher speeds when connected to the ISP router. 470mbps vs 400mbps when connected to the access point.

He had mentioned upgrading the router as well - the question is if I only upgrade the router will the access points provide more than 500mbps?

Hi @Spopky 

Thanks for your response.

Based on your description, it seems that the internet issue is stable while you are connecting to the ISP router, but the issue persists while you are connecting to the access points, it looks like the switch maybe booting from the secondary partition (Note: Secondary partition contains the routing code) which is causing bad connectivity issues.

Please follow up the next guide.

Note:  if you have access to the Unleashed Dashboard and the Switch can be seen from there, it may look like the following image, ICX7150-C12-Router instead of ICX7150-C12-Switch, now before starting the steps of the guide, I will advise you to cable the computer directly to the Switch, since you will have a better connectivity than if you connect via wireless. 

. After fixing the issue of the Switch booting from the wrong partition, please perform an upgrade to the code 08095g UFI and upgrade both partitions primary and secondary with the switching code file named SPS08095gufi.bin, take into consideration that is the Switch is running a code lower than 08080 you need to upgrade twice, from the code you are to 08080f and then the recommended code 08095g UFI.
