The
RUCKUS Community data migration for legacy forums content and user data will
begin tonight, Wednesday 16 February 2022 at 10:00pm PST and should conclude at
approximately 8:30am PST on Thursday, 17 February 2022.
During this
maintenance window, the production RUCKUS Community at https://community.ruckuswireless.com/ will be in READ-ONLY mode.
The legacy Forums at https://forums.ruckuswireless.com/ have been in READ-ONLY mode since 31 January and will remain in READ-ONLY mode until they are decommissioned. Legacy Forums links and content will be redirected to the new RUCKUS Community after the production data migration completes.

I'm in the process of doing data validation for the forums content migration this afternoon, and things are looking pretty good. The user account migration data is all validated and complete.
The Support Portal headers will be published to the community home page on Monday, and some other UI/UX modules will be added to the right-nav at the same time, in order to help with finding related posts.
I'll update the page here with more details early next week.

RUCKUS Networks has begun to migrate our existing forums into a new, upgraded community platform, starting on Wednesday, 5 January 2022:
- The new community platform is hosted at the URL of https://community.ruckuswireless.com and is integrated within the RUCKUS Support Portal’s single-sign-on (SSO) authentication process. Please update your bookmarks accordingly. The new URL will be accessible on 2 or 3 February 2022.
- The new community content categories and topics will be identical to the old forums, leveraging the reorganization work done in the summer of 2021 to simplify the community structure.
- New Q&A posts can be posted at https://community.ruckuswireless.com as soon as the new platform is available.
All existing content at https://forums.ruckuswireless.com became READ-ONLY on 31 January 2022, and will remain accessible in a READ-ONLY format through 4 February 2022:
- READ-ONLY means that you will not be able to create new discussion topics or to update existing conversations in the legacy forums beginning on 31 January 2022. This includes internal RUCKUS employees as well as external customers and partners. Full search of the existing content will remain available.
- All existing legacy forums content---Q&A posts as well as user accounts, user avatars, images, etc.---will be migrated from the old forum to the new community by mid-February 2022.
Some aspects of the UI/UX presentation and redesign in the new platform are still being worked, and will finalize over February and March, so please be patient as we work “under construction” and check back regularly for new updates and changes.
If you have questions about the new community or would like to offer feedback on the new platform after its launch, please post in the Community and Online Services board at https://community.ruckuswireless.com/t5/Community-and-Online-Support/bd-p/community-general
