Adding an AP

You can manually add APs to your RUCKUS One account. Alternatively, use the RUCKUS One Mobile App to scan the QR code of the RUCKUS AP and add them to your RUCKUS One account.

  2. On the navigation bar, click Wi-Fi > Access Points > Access Point List. Alternatively, from the RUCKUS One Dashboard, click Add > Device > Wi-Fi AP and skip to Step 5.
    The Wi-Fi page is displayed.
