AP Overview

Before adding an AP to your RUCKUS One account, you must verify that the RUCKUS AP that you are adding to your account is supported by RUCKUS One. RUCKUS recommends that you keep a record of the serial number of the AP that you want to connect to RUCKUS One. You can find the serial number of the AP on the serial number sticker affixed to the bottom of the AP.
