Check the LED status lights to verify correct operation.
1. Make sure you are using the power adapter supplied by
Ruckus Wireless.
2. Make sure the Power LED is lit. If it is not lit, make
sure that the power cord is properly connected to the
Ruckus Metro Broadband Gateway, and that the power
supply adapter is properly connected to a functioning
power outlet. If the error persists, you have a hardware
problem and should contact technical support.
3. If you have a PC/laptop connected to the gateway,
make sure your Network LED is lit. Make sure the
Ethernet cable connections are secure at the Ruckus
Metro Broadband Gateway and your computer. The
Network LED on the Ruckus Metro Broadband Gateway indicates link when the cable connection is solidly
connected to the port on the gateway and to the port on
your computer.
4. Make sure the Wireless LED is either steady or flashing
Green. If not lit, the Wireless settings may be incorrect
between the Ruckus Metro Broadband Gateway and
your computer.
If necessary, reset the Ruckus Metro Broadband Gateway
gateway to its factory defaults
If you forgot which security settings you assigned to the
Ruckus Metro Broadband Gateway, you can reset it to factory defaults by inserting the end of a paper clip into the
Reset button hole located on the back of the unit.
When resetting the device, wait until you see both the third
(Wireless) and fourth (Diagnostic) LED lights turn off and
then turn back on.
