Renewing or Releasing DHCP
This task should be performed only with guidance from your ISP. It serves as a troubleshoot-
ing technique when DHCP addresses to one or more networked devices prove to be unusable
or in conflict with others.

If the current
Connection Type
is DHCP, you will be able to see the currently-assigned
IP address and subnet mask listed below.
• To force the DHCP server to assign a new IP address to this AP, click
Renew DHCP
.
This will cause a slight interruption in network service until the new IP address has
been put in use.
• To force the DHCP server to assign new IP addresses to all networked devices at the
same time (including this AP), click
Release DHCP
. This will cause a temporary
interruption in overall network service.
Upgrading the AP Firmware
You can use the Web User interface to check for software updates/upgrades for the firm-
ware built into the AP. You can then apply these updates to the device in one of two ways:
[1] manual updating on an as-needed basis or [2] automating a regularly scheduled update.
Before starting, decide which option you want to take:
• Automate a regularly scheduled update
• Run a one-time manual update right now.
By default, the automatic upgrade option is active, and will check the Ruckus Wireless
update server every 12 hours.
