- Configure MSP-EC tier as Essentials or Professional: Managed Service Providers (MSPs) now have the ability of granular monetization options using the RUCKUS One MSP platform by having the option to select the service tier, either Essentials or Professional, when establishing a new MSP-EC. Additionally, MSPs have the flexibility to upgrade or downgrade existing MSP-ECs in accordance with the service agreement terms with their customers.
- AP SNMP MIB download link in the RUCKUS One User Interface: A hyperlink for downloading the AP SNMP MIBs is now accessible both at the AP level and the Venue level.
- Low Power Detection: An alert will now be triggered if a tri-radio access point, such as the R770 or R760, which necessitates an 802.3at or 802.3bt port for operation, is powered on by an 802.3af port.
- AI-Driven RRM partial optimization: AI-Driven RRM has additional options to select partial optimization or full optimization. While full optimization adjusts channel plan, channel bandwidth, and Tx power; partial optimization adjusts only channel plan while retaining the configured channel bandwidth and TxPower.
- New Airtime Incidents: New incidents are introduced for Airtime Busy, Airtime Rx, and Airtime Tx with detailed insights, network impact, root cause, and resolution.
- Granular Scheduling Reports: Added granularity picker for Schedules which allows you to specify the time interval for which data is aggregated and presented in scheduled reports. Default granularity value is defined for existing schedules. For daily and weekly schedules, the default granularity is set to 15 minutes, while for monthly schedule, the default granularity is set to Hour.
- New Client Events: New client events have been added for client load balancing and sticky client steering, providing valuable assistance in troubleshooting roaming-related issues.
- Edit Venue-Level Admin Password on a Venue or a Switch Level: The Admin password is editable at the venue level by performing a venue configuration update, where you are also given the option to apply the edited password to all existing switches in the venue, as well as automatically assign it to any new switch joining the venue.
February 2024
- End Customer Tier Selection: In RUCKUS One, MSPs are at the Professional tier of the subscription and so are their end customers. MSPs can now change the subscription for the end customers to be either Essentials or Professional tier, providing greater business flexibility.
February 2024
- AP Group Table: AP groups allow users to map APs in a venue to different groups. We have added the AP group table to easily manage these groups. The new AP group table provides easy access to information such as incidents and connected clients. The user can also configure VLANs and select WLANs to broadcast at the AP group level.
- Captive Portal Enhancement: For the Host Approval type of a captive portal, we have now added the ability for the user to specify selected host email address instead of any email in the domain. This allows the user to limit the number of host sponsors to the configured list.
- Wi-Fi Access Control Enhancement: In this release, we have simplified the way a user can create and assign access control profile to a Wi-Fi network. Users can now directly initiate creation of an access control profile from the Wi-Fi networks configuration workflow.
January 2024
- Sign In with LinkedIn using OpenID Connect: Sign In with LinkedIn has been deprecated as of August 1,2023. To allow users to sign in to a captive portal using LinkedIn, you must configure the network to allow the users to register with the Sign in with LinkedIn using Open ID Connect option. For more information on how to allow self sign in using LinkedIn, refer to the RUCKUS One User Guide.
December 2023
- AP 7.0/ R770 Support: RUCKUS One is excited to deliver support for the first enterprise Wi-Fi 7 access point, the R770! This marks the first commercially available Wi-Fi 7 access point and the start of the Wi-Fi 7 era. Many new capabilities are part of the Wi-Fi 7 standard, refer to https://www.ruckusnetworks.com/solutions/technology/wi-fi-7/ for more details. For more information about the AP 7.0 firmware, refer to the RUCKUS One AP 7.0 Firmware Release Notes.
- Wi-Fi 6/Wi-Fi 7 toggle: If your clients are not capable of supporting the latest Wi-Fi capabilities, a toggle is available to turn off 802.11ax/be capabilities per WLAN. This will revert these WLANs to supporting 802.11ac wave2 or older protocols, which can be beneficial in environments where there are many legacy devices.
- Per AP radio configuration: Users can now customize the radio settings on a per access point basis. Previously, the radio configuration was only available for the Venue and the specific Access Point model, this enhancement allows for more granular control on a per device basis.
- Customer Beta program: Customers can now opt-in to try out new RUCKUS One beta features before they are officially released and supported. In this release, opt-in for Beta is a global configuration per tenant. All beta features will be made available to the customer when they opt into the program.
- MSP bulk firmware management: Managed Service Providers (MSPs) are now able to schedule firmware upgrades for multiple tenants with only a few clicks from their MSP dashboard! Select one or more customers, select the timeframe for upgrade and go!
- MSP Alarms: MSPs can once again see alarms raised within customer accounts directly on the dashboard. Easily understand which customers are currently encountering issues and know where to best apply technical resources.
- Multi-delegation support: Customers can now delegate tenant access to multiple 3rd-party users. Previously, customers were limited to a single delegated reseller or other resource. With this release, customers can now delegate to multiple additional users and organizations for assistance in the management and support of their RUCKUS One environment.
- MSP Assign Subscriptions: To date, RUCKUS MSP customers were required to purchase MSP SKUs in order to be able to assign subscriptions to their MSP End Customers (MSP ECs). Furthermore, RUCKUS MSP customers were required to purchase REC SKUs in order to be able to use them for their own MSP account. As of this release, a new capability is introduced: MSP Assign Subscriptions. This feature allows RUCKUS MSP customers to only purchase MSP SKUs and use them for both MSP End Customers as well as assign any desired quantity to their own MSP account. This new flexibility allows RUCKUS MSP customers to enjoy the price advantage that MSP SKUs provide them for both their MSP End Customers as well as for their own MSP account. Furthermore, this new capability allows RUCKUS MSPs to streamline their purchase practice and be consistent with only purchasing MSP SKUs. It should be noted that as of Q1-2024, all renewals of expiring RUCKUS One subscriptions of RUCKUS MSPs entitlements, will be renewed to MSP SKUs only. RUCKUS MSP customers will be able to use the new MSP Assign Subscriptions to assign licenses for their own account.

November 2023
- Cloud Radio Resource Management (RRM): AI-driven Cloud Radio Resource Management (RRM) is a centralized algorithm that guarantees zero interfering links for the APs managed by RUCKUS One, minimizing co-channel interference to the lowest level possible. This is accomplished by continuously gathering RF data from all the access points, holistically analyzing the RF environment and usage patterns, and jointly making optimal choices for channel re-use, channel bandwidth, and AP transmit power selection to maximize the network throughput. This new technology relies on sophisticated techniques of machine learning, artificial intelligence, graph algorithms, and cloud scale computation to jointly optimize channel, channel width, and AP transmit power. This method optimizes across all combinations of channel, channel width, and AP transmit power to search for the optimal values across the network.
- AI Operations: RUCKUS One creates recommendations after constantly monitoring the software configuration and analyzing network data. Changes in the expected behavior of a network or its performance are commonly detected and corrected by making physical changes to the network environment or by making configuration changes to the networking software. RUCKUS One provides recommendations by monitoring dynamic factors influencing network performance and also seeks to tune static factors with an objective to improve performance metrics, key performance indicators (KPIs), and the user experience.
- Device agnostic capabilities: This release introduces the RUCKUS One full Device Agnostic capabilities. As of this release, RUCKUS One is device agnostic from purchase, to activation, and to managing in the Cloud. Any purchased Cloud subscription license (including previously purchased legacy RUCKUS Cloud SKUs) support full device agnostic capabilities allowing the subscriptions to be used to manage Access Points (APs) or switches regardless of the models. For example, customers who have purchased licenses for managing ICX 7150, will be able to use these licenses to manage ICX 8200 or to manage APs. At time of activations, customers will not be prompted any more to allocate quantities for switches and/or APs. The User Interface in RUCKUS One is now simpler and does not distinguish between the type and model of devices being managed from a licensing perspective. Furthermore, when MSPs add new MSP End Customers, the built-in trial mode provides for 50 devices regardless of the type and model. This new capability facilitates simpler doing business with RUCKUS and simpler network administration for RUCKU End Customers and RUCKUS Partners.
- Dynamic packet capture (PCAP): Packet Capture (PCAP) is a collection of packets generated for all failure events with respect to the specific client. This allows the clients admins to inspect network packets and troubleshoot the issues. All PCAP reports will be stored for three months before they are deleted.
- Delivery traffic indication message (DTIM): In wireless networks, the DTIM timer is used to wake Wi-Fi devices to let them know there is traffic destined for them. Managing this setting can have significant impact on the battery life of mobile devices and sensors. A default value of 1 is applied.
- RF and LLDP neighbors: RUCKUS One can now display the LLDP information for APs managed under RUCKUS One, and can also display the RSSI of neighboring access points that are managed under RUCKUS One.
- Client connectivity diagnostics (CCD): With this firmware, users are now able to troubleshoot client connectivity issues in realtime. On the wireless clients list, users may choose a venue and group of APs to monitor for during client connection, in an effort to directly correlate “connectivity issues” with the precise step in the Wi-Fi authentication process that is breaking down.
October 2023
- QoS Map Set: Reprioritizes downlink packets based on the configured mappings. When an AP receives a downlink packet, it checks the existing DSCP (Layer 3 QoS) marking, compares it to this map set, and then changes the user priority (Layer 2 QoS) values for transmission by the AP. QoS map settings can be customized and applied per WLAN.
- OWE Transition mode: The migration from an open Wi-Fi network to an
enhanced open (OWE) Wi-Fi network is completed step by step, while user
devices are also gradually upgrading. For user devices that do not support
OWE authentication, OWE transition mode is available so that such devices
can access the network in open authentication mode. Meanwhile, OWE
transition mode allows OWE-capable devices to access the network with OWE
authentication mode. The OWE transition mode is implemented as follows.
- Two SSIDs are created on an AP, for example, SSID 1 for open authentication and SSID 2 for OWE authentication.
- SSID 1 is broadcast, and SSID 2 is hidden. Therefore, only SSID 1 is
visible to STAs. SSID 1 carries an OWE Transition Mode element and
SSID 2 information. When an OWE-capable STA connects to SSID 1, it
is directly associated with SSID 2 in OWE transition mode.
- Non OWE-capable device connects SSID1
- OWE-capable device connect to SSID2 from SSID1
- Client admission Control: Allows access points to adaptively permit or deny client connections based on the connectivity thresholds set per access point, per radio. Minimum and maximum client counts and bandwidth thresholds are configurable per radio.
- MSP Admin management: Allow for easier delegation of MSP administrator accounts to multiple tenants. MSPs can now assign or unassign one or more administrators to multiple customer accounts in a single step.
- Admin Single Sign On(SSO): For Professional and MSP customers, our new Azure AD SAML SSO integration is now available! In this first release, Prime Administrators may configure their Azure SSO integration, invite SSO users to the portal, and map those users to existing admin roles such as Prime Administrator or DPSK Manager. In upcoming releases, additional functionality will be provided, including authorization by group membership and integration support with additional IDPs.
September 2023
- Configuration Analysis: RUCKUS One can now analyze the impact of configuration changes or software changes introduced in the network. RUCKUS One tracks the configuration applied at the Venue, WLAN, AP Group, or AP level. Algorithms assess the impact of this configuration change and display a 'before' and 'after' comparison of network health key performance indicators (KPIs). With this feature, customers can de-risk the configuration changes before rolling out across the network.
- DPSK Scaling: Dynamic Pre-shared Keys are a cornerstone of the RUCKUS solution, offering unique pre-shared keys that can be applied to each identity, unit, or individual device. RUCKUS One can now support up to 75,000 DPSKs per tenant without requiring a separate RADIUS controller. Automated DPSK creation is limited to 5,000 keys per request, while still supporting up to 75,000 total DPSKs per tenant.
- BSS Coloring: Basic Service Set (BSS) Coloring marks shared frequencies to allow 802.11ax access points to determine whether simultaneous use of spectrum is permissible. This technology reduces interference due to congestion and ensures consistent service to multiple connected devices in high-density environments. This configuration is now supported at the overall venue and individual AP level.
- Multicast Rate Limiting: Configurable multicast rate limiting in RUCKUS One. Multicast rate limiting and Multicast filtering are mutually exclusive features, SSID rate limiting will always take precedence if Multicast rate limiting is also configured. Multicast downlink rate limiting should not be greater than 50% of BSS min rate.
- DHCP Option 82: DHCP Option 82 allows a DHCP Relay Agent to insert circuit−specific information into a request that is being forwarded to a DHCP server. This option works by setting two sub-options: Circuit ID and Remote ID. The insertion of DHCP Option 82 information is now supported for wireless clients in RUCKUS One.
- Agile Multi-Band (AMB): Introduced by the Wi-Fi Alliance, Agile Multiband is a collection of features designed to improve resource utilization, balance Wi-Fi load, increase capacity, and provide the best possible Wi-Fi experience. AMB configures WLANs to send IE Multi Band Operation announcements that include beacon reporting, channel non-preference, cellular capability, and association disallow. It interoperates with existing load balancing protocols including 802.11k and 802.11r.
- IEEE 802.11d: Enable or Disable IEEE 802.11d support. When enabled, this feature allows the AP to support multiple regulatory domains by the addition of a country information element to beacons, probe requests, and probe responses.
- Property Management: Located in . Create residence portals, for end-user Multi-Dwelling Units.
Centered around DPSK technology, Property Management allows end users
control over their own DPSK credentials. Property management must be enabled
at a per venue level. This view also allows you to create DPSK pools,
Identity Groups, and Identities within this screen. Using this new
functionality of RUCKUS One, you can allow end users to:
- Email/SMS notifications with the residence portal URL
- Email/SMS notifications with the residence passphrases
- Allow API access to the portal for third party systems
- Provide a new UI for end users to:
- Quickly onboard devices using the passphrase provided
- Quickly onboard devices using the QR code provided
- View devices that have used the passphrase
- Delete devices that have used the passphrase
- Reset the residences passphrase
- Reset the residences onboarding URL
- Change email and mobile number contact information
- Receive announcements and help
- Identity Groups: Located in . Using Identity Groups, as a network administrator, you can logically create user and device groups that have access to particular resources (such as DPSK pools and MAC Address lists)
- Identity: Located in . Identities represent a grouping of devices which are associated to an identity. The identity will hold information such as VLAN and VNI. As devices connect to the network, it looks to the identity for those attributes.
- DPSK: Located in
. In RUCKUS One, you can now create multiple DPSK services
that have different capabilities and different policies. Create DPSK
services with different attributes containing:
- Password complexity
- Password length
- Expiration Dates
- Adaptive Policy Rules
- MAC Address Pools: Located in . New to RUCKUS One, is the capability to have multiple MAC Address pools. This list can be used to authenticate devices. Device MAC addresses can be stored in a list and used on WLANs.
- Adaptive Policy: Located in . An exciting new feature that you can use to create conditions and responses for those conditions. New to RUCKUS One, is the ability to group conditions together into Access Policy Sets. Choose from conditions for DPSK and for RADIUS and apply them to DPSK Pools and MAC Registration Lists.
August 2023
This section lists new and enhanced software features in the release.
- ZoneDirector Migration Tool: Make it easy to upgrade from your existing infrastructure! RUCKUS One now supports the import of ZD configuration files. RUCKUS One will build a new venue based on your imported ZD configuration, reconnect and reimage all supported access points, and provide great visibility into the process.
- Sticky Client Steering: Many times wireless clients suffer from poor roaming experience, stubbornly remaining attached to a far away access point while a nearer, stronger signal goes unused. Sticky client steering takes advantage of SmartRoam, the RUCKUS patented wireless roaming technology, and interoperation with IEEE standards to drive clients to connect to the best RF signal available. Sticky Client Steering is configured at the venue level, and offers great support for connected sticky clients while gently directing them to use a better signal.
- Mesh Enhancements: Mesh operation in RUCKUS One now includes support for a custom SSID/PSK for mesh, as well as support for both 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz/6 GHz operation. Specific APs can now be manually configured as root nodes, mesh nodes, or to not participate in a venue's mesh configuration. This allows the operator to deploy and fine-tune the exact mesh configuration needed for their environment.
- New Admin role: DPSK Manager: We continue to expand role and responsibility delegation in RUCKUS One. The latest addition is the DPSK Manager, an administrative user whose sole responsibility is creating, disseminating, and managing Dynamic Pre-Shared Keys. Similar to a guest manager role, this user can only interact with DPSK related services. Additional Admin roles will be available in upcoming releases.
- Upcoming change to API
rate-limiting: Starting next month, the RUCKUS One APIs will include
rate limiting to several of the APIs. A rate limit is the number of API
calls an App or user can make within a given time period. If this limit is
exceeded, the App or user may be throttled. API request made by a throttled
user or App will fail. The API will return a 429 to indicate rate limiting
has been encountered. Each set of APIs which have rate limiting will
identify the limits for those APIs in the API information included with each
API section. The rate limit is determined by the following three key aspects:
- The key that is used. For RUCKUS One, the key is the tenant ID.
- How many calls are permitted per minute for each tenant.
- How fast the number of calls allowed is restored. To prevent a flood of API requests, the rate limiting only allows a fixed number of APIs to be restored after the limit is encountered.
July 2023
This section lists new and enhanced software features in the release.
- Localization: RUCKUS One admin is now offered in 6 languages! From the tab, users can now select from English, French, Spanish, Portuguese, Japanese and Korean. The default language of the tenant can be set, or user preference or browser settings can be preferred.
- Enhanced application recognition: Access points managed by RUCKUS One support pre-loaded application signature packs which are periodically released by RUCKUS to update application classification on the access point. This ensures customers always have access to the latest application intelligence RUCKUS can provide.
- 802.11r support for WPA3: Added support for Fast Transition on WPA3 and WPA2/WPA3 mixed networks.
- MSP optional admin: By popular demand, managed service providers are no longer required to provide a customer admin account. The MSP admin creating a customer account will remain as the primary administrator of the new customer. Adding a customer administrator account during account creation will now be an optional field. Note that any existing customer admins will remain associated with any existing customer accounts.
Welcome to RUCKUS One!
RUCKUS has built our new Cloud platform from the ground up, and we are very excited about this first release! RUCKUS One is an AI-driven network assurance, service delivery, and business intelligence platform that enables customers to easily manage a converged enterprise network, make better business decisions, and deliver exceptional user experiences.

- API with JSON Web Tokens (JWT): The new RUCKUS One API has been rewritten from the ground up. Support for JWT allows for a more scalable and secure deployment, while continuing to support many of the existing APIs via API forwarding. While many APIs are backwards compatible with the previous RUCKUS Cloud implementation, many new APIs have been implemented using the JWT architecture. For the full API documentation, refer to: https://docs.ruckus.cloud/api/. RUCKUS maintains a repository of code snippets here: https://github.com/commscope-ruckus.
- 6-GHz AP support: RUCKUS One supports the latest RUCKUS Wi-Fi 6E access points, the R560 and R760.
- ICX 8200 support: RUCKUS One supports the latest RUCKUS ICX switch family, the ICX 8200.
Additionally, many smaller features have been built into the new RUCKUS One
platform:
- Reusable services and policies: The new Network Control section of RUCKUS One is designed to provide reusable service and policy configurations to be applied across multiple venues and devices. As we incorporate more services from across our product lines into the RUCKUS One platform, they will become available here.
- DPSK Management: Dynamic Pre-Shared Key management is being reworked. Improvements include managing the MAC addresses associated with the DPSK, being able to edit an existing DPSK, importing DPSKs from SmartZone or ZoneDirector export formats, and more.
- Static IP address for APs: Static network settings are now supported in RUCKUS One. Users can now configure static IP settings on RUCKUS APs managed in the Cloud.
- SNMP for APs: Often requested, AP SNMP support has been enabled in RUCKUS One for monitoring of network devices. RUCKUS APs now support SNMPv2 and SNMPv3 in read-only operation.
- Client Load Balancing for APs: When Load Balancing is enabled in a multi-band and/or multi-AP deployment, the AP automatically distributes client load across radio bands and across nearby APs.
- Directed Multicast: Directed Multicast converts incoming multicast traffic to unicast, reducing airtime utilization and improving data throughput performance. This feature is enabled at the venue level and supports converting directed multicast over the air and over the wire.
- mDNS (Bonjour) Fencing: The mDNS (Bonjour) Fencing feature provides a mechanism to limit the scope of mDNS service discovery in the physical/spatial domain. Users can limit the range of forwarded mDNS broadcasts to a single AP or adjacent neighbor APs. mDNS Fencing is configured on a per-venue basis.
- Allowing outdoor APs to use Indoor channels: In some global environments, outdoor APs had been precluded from using Indoor channels; this is now a supported configuration.
- Selectable Country Code: In some global environments, there is a need to run a different Wi-Fi Country Code than the local country/regulator requires (the location does not have a country code, testing remote location channels, and so on). This is now available at the time of venue creation.
- Legacy AP firmware: With the launch of 6-GHz support in RUCKUS One, we introduce the ability to use End of Life or “Legacy” access points (APs) at the same venue with new Wi-Fi 6E APs through a “multiple firmware support” feature. Each venue supports two versions of access point firmware, one for current active RUCKUS Wi-Fi devices, and one for Legacy devices, which currently includes the R310, R500, R600, R730, and T300 series of APs.

|
Symptom: Regardless of whether properties are assigned or unassigned to an LSP (which is the integrator), the Brand 360 aggregate view incorporates all properties to display data for three metrics: Property Health, Guest Experience, and Brand SSID Compliance. However, the tabular view in Brand 360 aggregate view is updated properly and displays the property data only if the properties are assigned to the LSP. Worokaround: None. |
|
Symptom: From RUCKUS One, you cannot configure the port speed of an ICX 7850-48F switch. Workaround: Use the following switch CLI commands to configure the port speed: # configure terminal # interface ethernet 1/1/1 to 1/1/4 # speed-duplex <speed> |
|
Symptom: MacOS Monterey and BigSur version STA can connect on a PSK WLAN but STA ping is lost after sometime. Worokaround: None. |
| Symptom: When
creating a unit from the property service. If identity creation files
are duplicated (either due to a duplicate passphrase or duplicate LAN
port, etc.), RUCKUS One will not halt the creation of units. Workaround: Since Actvity indicates the identity creation failure, the user can change the configuration that resulted in the failure, or the user can delete the unit that is not associated with the identity. |
| Symptom: Email is not tracked during creation of the identity; email or SMS is not tracked when the unit is associated with the portal service using the edit operation; email is not tracked during registration of MAC addresses. |
| Symptom: DPSK deletion is not included with activities
associated with unit deletion. Workaround: During a unit deletion failure event, make sure to delete the associated DPSK passphrase manually. |
| Symptom: If the same device is
connected to multiple identitys or units using different DPSK
passphrases at different points in time, devices will be reflected at
both identitys or units with the last seen date. Workaround: N/A. |
| Symptom: When creating identitys
or units from identitys or venues, if DPSK creation fails (either due
to duplicate passphrases, etc.), the RUCKUS One system will not halt the
creation of identitys. Workaround: Since Activity indicates the identity's failure in identity activity. The user can go ahead and change the configuration that resulted in failure, or the user can go ahead and delete the identity or unit that is not associated with DPSK. |
| Symptom: A connected client (with the unit's DPSK passphrase) details is not displayed in the Identity page. |
