Hi @rosewood72
Greetings!!!
Thank you for reaching out to the RUCKUS Lennar Home Community.
We appreciate your patience and understanding as we work to resolve the issues you are experiencing with your RUCKUS setup.
Based on the information provided, it appears that you are encountering issues with Power allocation to your new RUCKUS R710 APs.
Please note that the AP R710 is set to automatically negotiate for 802.3at, which requests 30W of power. If the switch does not have the required capacity, the user can adjust the power negotiation to 802.3af through the Unleashed Dashboard. However, they must also modify the power limit settings on the switch accordingly. (Refer to the screenshots and links)
Go to Access Points > [AP] > Edit > Other > PoE Operating Mode.
The issue is that while the AP R710 may not utilize the full 30W, it will still request that power allocation. Therefore, there may be a need to adjust the power limit settings on the switch and also configure the AP through the Unleashed Dashboard to ensure proper power management.
Therefore, you may need to determine how to limit the power on the TP-Link switch. Additionally, in the Dashboard, you can change the PoE negotiation from "Auto" to 802.3af, which is the lowest power mode.
Below is the link describing Power Limitations by PoE Mode and RUCKUS AP Models:
I hope this information helps you.
Thank you again for your patience and understanding.
