Ruckus Access Points Not Working

We have 3 access points (AP) in our house, one on each floor. The top AP had all the LED lights on while the bottom 2 did not. I thought this might be the cause for why our WiFi is very slow on the floor. The bottom floor only gets 10-20 Mbps while the top floor can go up to 200 Mbps.

We resetted what we believe is the "Ruckus controller" which lives in the master bedroom closet with the router and other network devices are. We saw all 3 access points have PWR turn red and slowly boot up one by one. The access point (AP) on the top floor went back to all the lights lighting up. However, the bottom 2 APs did not all light up like the AP on the top floor. Because the bottom APs are not lighting up, it appears they are not working as expected and the WiFi is much slower downstairs.

We moved into this house built by Lennar Homes, and there was one previous homeowner who lived here. We asked the previous homeowner if they had any WiFi issues on the bottom floor but they didn't have any. They also never had to reset their Ruckus devices while they lived here. We’re not sure what the models are but I think they’re the ZoneFlex r610s.

They also didn't mention having to manage Ruckus using a portal or the Ruckus Unleashed app. I was using the Ruckus Unleashed app. Unfortunately after resetting the APs, I never saw a Wifi name that starts with, "Configure.me".

The ICX-7150 has 2 green lights, so I believe it's a slightly different issue from this post here. First AP image is the top floor, which has 5G and 2.4G amber lights. The bottom floor and the middle floor have only the PWR green, and CTL blinks. But the 5G and 2.4G don't appear to work, hence the WiFi is not as fast on the bottom floor.

Hi @guopher 

Greetings!!!

Thank you for the response and the update.

Could you please use the below command?

copy tftp flash <tftp ip address> mnz10114.bin bootrom

Please repeat the same process for the other 2 .bin files as well. Let me know if you stuck at any step.

Thank you again for your patience and understanding.

Hi Imran,

Thanks for the quick response! Unfortunately, I'm not able to identify the current IP address of the ICX-7150 device. I downloaded LanScan to do the IP scan. However, I did not see any device named remotely like, "Ruckus Wireless / Ruckus Switch / Ruckus Router / unleashed". Here is a screenshot from my scan, which I did numerous times in case new devices showed up.

As a result, I logged into my modem's settings via 192.168.0.1 and didn't see any devices that looked like the Ruckus I was expecting. I went into Terminal on my Mac and typed in 'arp -a'  to find any devices and their IPs. I did open a new Terminal window and tried to ssh into any of the IP addresses with the command, 'ssh super@’IP of the device' but the connection would always refuse.

FYI, all the lights on the ICX-7150 are green. None of them are amber. All the steps I took to troubleshoot I referenced from the two links you put in above. Please let me know if there is anything else I can try.

Thanks,

JJ

Hi Imran,

Unfortunately I don't have any Windows devices at the moment. Is there anything else I can try in the meantime? What app do you recommend for Mac users to scan IP addresses?

Thanks,

JJ

Hi @guopher 

Greetings!!!

Thank you for the response and the update.

Could you please reboot (unplug and plug from the power outlet) your RUCKUS ICX-7150-C12P Switch and try an IP scan from the LanScan?

Please make sure, you are connected to ISP’s (Internet Service Provider’s) Router Wi-Fi Network to which your RUCKUS ICX-7150-C12P Switch is connected.

If you are still unable to find an IP address, please try to get access to the Switch CLI using a console connection as described in the below guide.

Once you are logged in to the ICX-7150-C12P please follow and perform the commands and help with the outputs.

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

Thank you again for your patience and understanding.
