Hello Team. I am having a similar issue as others - my Ruckus system is no longer working due to a power outage. I have attempted to reset my switch over 20 times witb my no change. My access points (downstairs near dining area and upstairs at top of stairs) have no lights illuminated. I can provide a video and photo of my switch. Thank you !

Hi @Jgadani
Greetings!!!
Thank you for contacting Lennar Home Community.
Hope you are doing well!!!
Thank you for the information you shared.
From the case description, I could understand that your Access Points are not getting power.
As I can see from the Picture and Video you shared on the other post, your Switch is stuck on a boot mode which can be resolved. Please see below.
As there are lights on PWR and SYST, if there is an amber/orange light on the "SYST" and a green light on the "PWR" on the Switch (as it is in the below picture). Meaning the Switch is stuck in the boot mode.

Basically, due to the power outage/ power spike, the switch went to a state that we call ‘boot mode’ that is not able to boot up properly.
Please follow the below steps to fix this issue:
First, we will try to reset the Switch as described below:
1. Please try to disconnect from the Power outlet the ICX-7150 and reconnect.
2. Please try to press the reset button using a paper click or a small stick
Below is the Guide and Videos link for your reference:

IF RESET IS NOT WORKING, PLEASE TRY TO RESET YOUR SWITCH MULTIPLE TIMES (Like 10-15 times) AS DESCRIBED ABOVE.
IF RESET DOESN’T WORK: Please follow the below steps.
If the reset does not make any difference, we need to perform a software recovery since it can be that the image flash is corrupted in basic words the unit is not able to boot up properly and need re-install the image to boot up properly.
Below is the Guide and Video Link to perform the Software recovery process:

Thank you again for your patience and understanding.

When entering the exact ip address show above in putty, I am still getting "not alive". I changed the ip address a few time with no luck. Is my switch dead? Is there another option?
