Overview

RUCKUS Unleashed 200.16.7.0.402 is a GA Refresh release published in September 2024 (Part Number: 800-73687-001 Rev A).

Unleashed is a controller-less WLAN solution designed to deliver enterprise-class Wi-Fi without dedicated hardware controllers. It is ideal for small to medium businesses that want feature-rich performance in a simple, cost-effective platform.

An Unleashed network scales to:

  • Bridge mode: Up to 128 Access Points and 2,048 concurrent clients
  • Gateway mode: Up to 25 APs and 512 clients
  • Dedicated mode: Up to 150 APs and 4,000 clients

This release introduces the R770 — RUCKUS's first Wi-Fi 7 access point in the Unleashed platform — along with 6 GHz radio support and 320 MHz channelization.
