Trying to upgrade switch but no com found in device manager (COM & LPT)

[Randy]

I’ve been trying to upgrade my Ruckus switch to regain Wi-Fi and setting up connection between switch and computer and when I go to device manager and click on (COM & LPT) there are no com choices just virtual. I tried inputting the virtual com but Putty doesn’t recognize them. I’ve been attempting this for the better part of nine hours now. Really frustrated. Any ideas?

Thank you,

Randy

Hi @Randy

To access by console, you must install a driver so that the workstation/pc/desktop or laptop can recognize the cable

Make sure to download the zip drive for the file below & "extract all". Once it's extracted, run the file ,driver should be installed.
