Re: Using Ruckus

[kyr...@gmail.com]

Hi,

You will have to configure SSID and the security settings that march
Google Wi-Fi to your 2211.

After step 2 below:
2.1) launch a web browser from your laptop and type in 192.168.1.1 to
URL window
2.2) Click Configuration->Wireless and enter SSID and Security settings
2.3) Click Update
2.4) Maintenance->Reboot
2.5) Reboot

Hope this helps.

Regards

If you purchased the 2211 "preconfigured", then I would recommend that
you contact the store you purchased your 2211 and consult their support
organization. I do not have information on Google Wi-Fi settings.

Okay, I am connected now and have the thumbs up.

I am still having issues regarding connecting it to my router.

I was told to put it into "bridge mode" and then connect the ruckus to
the wan port on my router. I have done this but when I try to configure
the router, it tells me that there is no connection.

I have tried resetting the router and even restored it to complete
factory default. When I try to configure, I still get a no connection
message. Any insight as to what I need to do to get the wireless router
to work would be much appreciated.

Thanks

Hi,
It isn't really clear to me what your topology is like and what it is
that you are trying to do.

I am assuming that you put the Ruckus 2211 into Bridge mode. If so, you
will not be able to manage your Ruckus 2211.

You can configure Ruckus 2211 in Bridge mode, and connect your other
router's WAN port to 2211's WAN port. In this scenario, your other
router will get IP address from Google Wi-Fi and your home computers
will get IP addresses from your other router.

If the Ruckus 2211 is in Route mode, then configure your other router's
DHCP server to hand out IP addresses that do not overlap with the ones
Ruckus 2211 hands out. By default Ruckus will issue 192.168.1.x IP
addresses.

Hope this help.

Regards.

I am assuming you are connecting your laptop to your US Robotics router
wirelessly. If so, what is the IP address you get on your laptop from
USR? What is the default gateway IP address your USR router gets from
Google Wi-Fi? Can you ping that default gateway from your laptop?
