October 2026 Release Information

New Features

The following software features are introduced in this release.

Feature Description
Continuous Conversation Context in DSE RUCKUS DSE now maintains context across a conversation, including follow-up questions handled by different sub-agents. Users can move from identifying issues to troubleshooting them without restating details such as clients, venues, or time ranges, enabling a more natural and continuous investigation workflow.
ICX Switch and Wired Network Troubleshooting with DSE RUCKUS DSE now supports troubleshooting ICX switches and wired networks in RUCKUS One. DSE analyzes switch connectivity, onboarding, VLAN and STP status, LAG and LLDP neighbors, port errors, alarms, and wired clients, helping administrators identify potential issues and continue troubleshooting within the same conversation.
Microsoft Entra ID Authentication for Enterprise AAA Networks RUCKUS One now supports Microsoft Entra ID username and password authentication for Enterprise AAA networks using EAP-TTLS. Users can connect using their existing Microsoft Entra ID credentials, eliminating the need for administrators to maintain a separate user database. Multi-factor authentication (MFA) is not supported.
Venue Troubleshooting with RUCKUS DSE RUCKUS DSE now supports venue-level troubleshooting in RUCKUS One by correlating incidents, health KPIs, events, alarms, recent configuration changes, and AP and switch status. DSE summarizes key issues, recommended actions, and supporting evidence, and enables administrators to continue the investigation by troubleshooting affected clients.
Microsoft Entra ID OAuth Identity Provider Support RUCKUS One now supports Microsoft Entra ID as an OAuth identity provider in the Service Catalog. Administrators can use existing Microsoft Entra ID cloud identities for network access without maintaining separate authentication servers.
Expanded ICX Insights with RUCKUS DSE RUCKUS DSE now provides insights into ICX cloud connectivity, onboarding, firmware, alarms, VLAN membership, and STP in RUCKUS One. Administrators can also explore what-if scenarios before making changes and continue their investigation within the same conversation.
IPv6 Support for Wi-Fi and ICX Switch Configuration RUCKUS One now supports IPv6 alongside IPv4 across Wi-Fi and RUCKUS ICX switch settings. Administrators can configure servers, policies, and switches for IPv6 and mixed IPv4/IPv6 networks while continuing to support existing IPv4 deployments.
Live Network Insights with RUCKUS DSE RUCKUS DSE now provides live operational insights based on the current state of the network across activities, events, alarms, wireless clients, Venues, APs, switches, Wi-Fi networks, and RUCKUS One licenses. Administrators can ask questions in natural language, receive recommended next actions, and continue investigating directly within the conversation.
QR Codes for Wi-Fi Connection Details RUCKUS One now supports including QR codes with Wi-Fi connection details in email messages. Recipients can scan the QR code to join the network without manually entering the network name and passphrase.

Enhancements

The following enhancements are introduced in this release.

Feature Description
Support for Nokia ONTs RUCKUS One now supports management of Nokia XS-010XP-P and U-050XP-Q Optical Network Terminals (ONTs). This enhancement expands device compatibility, enabling administrators to monitor and manage supported Nokia ONTs directly from RUCKUS One.
Local CLI Access Control for OLT Management RUCKUS One now allows administrators to enable or disable local CLI (SSH) access to an OLT through its management IP address. This enhancement provides greater control over administrative access and helps organizations align device management with their operational and security requirements.
Automated ICX Switch Replacement and Configuration Restoration RUCKUS One now streamlines ICX switch replacement by allowing administrators to replace an existing switch with a new switch of the same model and automatically restore its configuration. This enhancement reduces deployment time, simplifies hardware replacement, and helps minimize service disruption.
Configuration Restoration During Switch Firmware Downgrades RUCKUS One now provides the option to restore a previously saved switch configuration when downgrading switch firmware. This enhancement helps administrators maintain configuration consistency and simplify rollback operations when reverting to an earlier firmware version.
Automatic Configuration Backup Before ICX Firmware Updates RUCKUS One now automatically creates a configuration backup before performing a firmware update on ICX switches. This enhancement helps protect switch configurations, simplifies recovery if issues occur during an upgrade, and reduces administrative effort during firmware maintenance.
Expanded Dynamic Table Filtering Across RUCKUS One RUCKUS One extends Dynamic Table Filtering to the Venues, Networks, AP Groups, Switches, Configuration Profiles, Optical, RUCKUS Edge, SmartZone, and Clients pages. Filter options now update dynamically based on active search criteria, helping administrators quickly refine results and streamline navigation by displaying only relevant filtering choices.
Unit-Level Resident Experience Filtering in MDU 360 RUCKUS One now enables MDU 360 to filter Resident Experience by property unit, allowing MSPs and REITs to view Wi-Fi experience for individual units.
Increased AP Group Capacity per Venue RUCKUS One now supports up to 1,024 AP Groups per Venue, enabling large residential properties with more than 512 units to maintain a dedicated network for each unit within a single Venue. This enhancement eliminates the need to split larger properties across multiple Venues.
Enhanced Table Search RUCKUS One enhances table search to match text across all columns, search within filterable columns, support partial MAC address searches, and display the number of matching results. These enhancements help administrators find relevant information faster.
Improved Portal Link Navigation RUCKUS One now directs portal links opened in a new browser tab to their intended destination after sign-in. This enhancement allows administrators to work across multiple pages without losing their place.
Batch AP Firmware Upgrades Within a Venue RUCKUS One now supports upgrading selected APs within a Venue in batches. This enhancement allows clients to roam to nearby APs on the same network during the upgrade, helping avoid a Venue-wide service outage.
Enhanced Identity Group Sorting RUCKUS One now allows administrators to sort the Identity Group table by device count and certificate count, making it easier to identify groups with the most or fewest devices and certificates.
Expanded User Attribute Mapping for Identity Providers RUCKUS One now maps five additional user attributes from SAML and directory identity providers: organization, department, title, user principal name, and address. This enhancement provides administrators with richer user identity information.
License Release When MSP ECs Are Deactivated RUCKUS One now releases licenses assigned to an MSP EC when the MSP EC is manually deactivated, making those licenses available for assignment to other MSP ECs. When the MSP EC is reactivated, licenses must be reassigned before its network can be used.
MSP Customer Service Expiration at UTC Midnight RUCKUS One now expires an MSP Customer service at UTC midnight on the configured service expiration date, providing a consistent expiration time for MSP Customer services.
