August 2026 Release Information

New Features

The following software features are introduced in this release.

Feature Description
Read-Only Access for Property Owners RUCKUS One introduces a new read-only user role that provides Property-Group Owners (such as Real Estate Investment Trust (REIT) users) with access to the MDU 360 Dashboard. MSP administrators can create a Tech Partner account, assign access to specific customers, and provision read-only users. These users authenticate using a one-time password (OTP) sent by email and can view MDU 360 Dashboard data and SLA Controls for their assigned properties without access to network configuration settings.
Enhanced AI-Driven RRM Optimization
  • Advanced AI-Driven Tx Power Optimization: AI-Driven RRM now includes a new graph-based machine learning Transmit Power Optimization Algorithm that works alongside the graph-based Channel Planning Algorithm. Unlike the previous approach, which primarily reduced cell size after narrowing the channel width to 20 MHz, the new algorithm can intelligently reduce or increase AP transmit power at the current channel width to optimize both interference and coverage. This enhancement delivers significantly improved RF performance and enables more effective per-AP RF optimization.
  • Configurable Transmit Power Adjustment Guardrails: AI-Driven RRM now provides administrator-configurable transmit power adjustment limits. By default, the algorithm can reduce AP transmit power by up to 15 dBm below the maximum allowed transmit power for the AP. Administrators can customize these limits to align with deployment-specific coverage and performance requirements, while AI-Driven RRM ensures that all recommendations remain within the configured guardrails and supported AP capabilities.
  • Configurable Channel Width Guardrails: AI-Driven RRM now provides configurable minimum and maximum channel width settings, allowing administrators to define the range of channel widths that the AI engine can use. Default values are derived from the AP models present in the network. This enhancement enables deployments to operate within specific channel width ranges, such as 40 to 80 MHz, or enforce a fixed channel width across the entire network. All AI-Driven RRM recommendations honor the configured channel width guardrails and AP model capabilities.
  • Improved First-Time AI-Driven RRM Activation Experience: When AI-Driven RRM is applied for the first time and Intent Status is already in a Verified state, the system now performs an immediate RF optimization and application cycle. Previously, optimization could be delayed until CCIR (Co-Channel Interference Ratio) thresholds were exceeded, leading to confusion when ChannelFly remained active and AI-Driven RRM visualizations were unavailable. This enhancement ensures that AI-Driven RRM takes control immediately, applies the best available RF plan, and enables RRM analytics and visibility from day one.
  • Periodic RF Re-Optimization Every 15 Days: AI-Driven RRM continuously collects RF telemetry and computes CCIR metrics daily. When CCIR remains within the configured threshold, the network is considered to be operating within an acceptable RF experience range, and no new RF plan is generated or applied. With this enhancement, if no RF plan has been generated and applied during the previous 15 days because CCIR thresholds were not breached, AI-Driven RRM automatically force-generates and force-applies a new RF plan, including channel, channel width, and transmit power settings. This enhancement ensures periodic RF revalidation and optimization, keeps AI-Driven RRM visualizations and analytics current, and enables the system to capture incremental RF improvements that might not be reflected in deployment-wide CCIR averages.

Enhancements

The following enhancements are introduced in this release.

Feature Description
DHCP WAN Port and Ethernet Port Enhancements RUCKUS One now supports SmartZone-equivalent DHCP WAN port selection and Ethernet port profile network types. You can configure Dynamic or Manual WAN port selection for venues that use DHCP and designate AP Ethernet ports for WAN uplink or local LAN traffic.
ICX Stack Member Status Visibility RUCKUS One now displays the status of individual members within ICX switch stacks, providing greater visibility into stack health and member-level operation.
Enhanced Guest Portal Data Collection RUCKUS One enhances Guest Portals by adding optional guest information collection, including username, full name, email address, phone number, and marketing consent. Administrators can export guest records in CSV format. Guest Portal Services also support a Terms & Conditions acceptance checkbox with clickable hyperlinks.
Dashboard Performance Improvements RUCKUS One improves dashboard performance by limiting dashboards to 40 charts and loading chart data incrementally to reduce load times. The update also introduces performance notifications and clearer timeout messages to help users identify and resolve loading issues more effectively.
Data Studio Performance Guardrails RUCKUS One introduces Data Studio guardrails to improve dashboard performance and resource utilization. The update adds limits for data query ranges, chart granularity, dashboard charts, and grouping dimensions, along with performance warnings for complex queries. Pagination is now enabled by default to improve the handling of large result sets.
Client List CSV Export RUCKUS One now supports CSV export of client lists for wired and wireless clients, enabling administrators to download and analyze client data. Each export supports up to 50,000 client records.
Simplified Switch Firmware Upgrades RUCKUS One introduces a simplified switch firmware upgrade policy that provides greater control over upgrade management. Administrators can select which switches to upgrade and choose from a broader range of supported firmware versions.
