I've not used ruckus in a while (last time was 7363), I found them pretty good, but they were costing a lot to run in terms of power consumption. Looking at the spec sheet for R770 that hasn't improved (possibly even worse). > This is on my todo list too.

You may like to look into PPSK (aka "multi-passphrase") and configure separate vlans per PPSK instead. Then you are transmitting just one set of beacons and the selection is done based on the PSK used by the station. This feature used to only really be avaiable on the more "enterprise" kit, but these days it's even supported on some ubiquiti and routeros kit. -- Please keep replies on the mailing list.
