Can I change the network type or authentication method of an existing Wi-Fi Network in Ruckus One?

An existing Wi-Fi Network or WLAN is configured, and the administrator wants to change its network type or authentication method.

Create a new Wi-Fi Network with the desired configuration and:

• Use the same SSID if needed.
• Delete or disable the existing network from broadcasting in the preferred venue.

• Ruckus One uses a template-based progressive configuration approach.
• The Network Type option is available only during the creation of a new Wi-Fi Network.
• Modification of the network type for an existing WLAN is not supported.

Available Network Types

1. Passphrase (PSK/SAE)
   Users enter a predefined passphrase to connect.

2. Dynamic Pre-Shared Key (DPSK)
   Each device gets a unique passphrase for connection.

3. Enterprise AAA (802.1X)
   Uses 802.1X and WPA2 security protocols with an authentication server.

4. Hotspot 2.0 Access
   Provides seamless Wi-Fi with enhanced security and roaming capabilities.

5. Captive Portal
   Users authenticate through a captive portal using various methods.

6. Open Network
   No authentication required (not recommended for security reasons).

Edit Network Scope

The Wi-Fi Network Edit page allows changes to:

• Network name and description
• Network type-related settings (within the same type)
• Advanced network settings
• Venue where the network is advertised
