How to configure Ruckus Unleashed in 5 minutes or less

Ruckus Unleashed is so simple to setup, you can use your Android or iPhone mobile device to give your small business a simple, manageable Wi-Fi network.

Over 30 billion connected “things” are expected by 2020, while applications such as 4K video are projected to drive internet traffic to 278,108 petabytes per month by 2021 – with users generating a staggering 163 zettabytes of data on an annual basis by 2025. Clearly, consumer-grade Wi-Fi routers are no longer capable of meeting the needs of small and medium businesses (SMBs).
