Upgrade available Upgrade to 3.6.2.0.795 or later
Fixed in 3.6.2.0.795
Recommended fix High confidence

Upgrade to firmware version 3.6.2.0.795 or later for SmartCell Gateway 200 and SmartZone 100; upgrade to vendor-specified fixed versions for ZoneDirector models as listed in the security bulletin

  1. Identify the specific Ruckus device model (R310, R500, R600, T300, T301n, T301s, SCG200, SZ-100, or ZoneDirector) from the affected list
  2. Access the device web interface or CLI console
  3. Navigate to the firmware upgrade or system maintenance section
  4. Obtain the appropriate fixed firmware from the vendor security bulletin at https://support.ruckuswireless.com/security_bulletins/302
  5. Upload and install the fixed firmware version (3.6.2.0.795 or later for SCG200/SZ-100; newer versions for R310/R500/R600/T300/T301n/T301s; 9.10.2.0.130 or later for ZD1100; 10.2.1.0.218 or later for ZD1200/ZD3000; 10.0.1.0.151 or later for ZD5000)
  6. Verify the firmware upgrade was successful and the device is functioning normally
  7. Change administrative credentials as a best practice following any security-related firmware update
Caveat Review vendor release notes for any configuration or feature changes between versions before upgrading
