Local Upgrade

Use the Local Upgrade method to upgrade the network using firmware files that you have downloaded from the RUCKUS Support site.
Use the following procedure to upgrade the Master AP and all connected member APs using the Local Upgrade method.
  1. UI path for Unleashed
    From the main menu, select Administration > Upgrade.
  2. Select Local Upgrade as the upgrade method.
  3. Click Browse to locate the firmware image file on your local computer.

    RUCKUS Unleashed will perform a check to make sure it is the proper image for the AP model before proceeding.

    Note: Each AP model has a different firmware image file that must be loaded onto the Master and then distributed to all member APs of that model. So, for example, if you have a mix of two different RUCKUS Unleashed APs, you could upgrade all the APs of one model first and then proceed to upgrade the APs of the other model, or the other way around, but you cannot upgrade both models at the same time.
    Note: While the upgrade process will check to make sure you do not try to upgrade an RUCKUS Unleashed AP with the incorrect model firmware, there is no check to ensure that you do not upgrade or downgrade an RUCKUS Unleashed AP to a RUCKUS Solo AP (standalone) firmware image. If you do this, the AP will no longer function as an RUCKUS Unleashed AP until RUCKUS Unleashed firmware is reloaded onto it.

  6. Repeat steps 3-5 for any additional AP models.
    When all of the APs in the list are displayed as "Success 100%" in the Upgrade Progress column, a progress screen appears.
  7. After the upgrade process is completed, click Reboot.
    A progress screen is displayed. Wait until the process completes. After the upgrade is completed, you are redirected to the Unleashed web interface.
