Feature	Description
Allow AP Port Setting Reset to default	Administrators can now reset the LAN port settings to default on a per-AP model basis at both the venue and AP levels.
Channel for Notification	Administrators can now customize their notification preferences for firmware availability and upgrade alerts. This feature allows admins to selectively manage notifications for firmware availability and upgrade status updates based on specific device types, such as switches, access points (APs), and RUCKUS Edge devices.
Model-based firmware management	RUCKUS One now provides visibility into the switch model number and the recommended firmware version for each model. It also displays the current firmware version installed across venues, allowing for easy comparison. Switch models are grouped into categories: ICX 8200, ICX 7150, and ICX 7550-7850. Admins can continue to upgrade switches either by venue or by individual device, but the target firmware version will now be determined based on the switch model group.

Smart Monitor, Disable WLAN once AP Default Gateway is unreachable	Administrators can automatically disable WLANs if the access point’s default gateway becomes unreachable. This feature can be enabled or disabled at both the venue level and the individual access point level.
Trial SKU CLD-R1-TMP090	There is now only a single RUCKUS One trial SKU CLD-R1-TMP090 for RUCKUS One trials. RUCKUS One automatically makes use of the Unified Trial SKU based on the tenant: REC - Used for the REC trials MSP - Used for MSP Own account trials through the MSP Assign Subscriptions feature, the Unified Trial SKU also enables MSP EC trials without the need for MSP paid licenses. However, note that the Unified Trial SKU is not to be used for MSP EC Trials. Instead, RUCKUS One continues with the built-in 30 days or 50 licenses for MSP ECs.

Table 1. New AP Firmware Features
Feature	Description
LBS PreEngine API	Users can utilize the RUCKUS One LBS PreEngine API, a raw data streaming API employing the MQTT protocol, which transmits RSSI and SNR client data collected by the APs. This data allows external applications to determine the location of a client device on a specified floor plan.
Sticky Client Steering	Sticky Client Steering can be customized at the AP level. Sticky Client Steering improves the user experience and optimizes network performance by redirecting clients with a poor Signal-to-Noise Ratio (SNR) to more optimal APs.
6 GHz Wi-Fi support	6 GHz Wi-Fi support is now included in Taiwan, Macau, and Ireland, providing faster connectivity in these countries.
