Excellent tutorial, I've converted 4 rather useless Xclaim Xi-3 units to fully loaded Ruckus R500 mesh-enabled units. Thank you!

Update: I've been running 9 XI-3's-turned-R500's for a while now. Seeing as I've bought a load of XI-3's for less than €10,- a piece, I think it's amazing to see it work this well.

Wow, thanks so much for this article! I had four working XClaims with a terrible web GUI, but after upgrading, I can manage them properly now!

Just a small improvement to the guide - Upload and install the R500 Solo firmware
step.
You don't need TFTP server to upload firmware to the router. From Busybox you can do SCP to your PC (Linux in my case) and get the file. Tested recently on my XI-3:
scp user@your.pc.ip:~/Downloads/R500_110.0.0.0.2005.bl7 /tmp/solo.img

Thanks for the article, my Xi-3 is alive again!

And now as they transition to new CAM auth system on the https://unleashed.ruckusnetworks.com/ - it require 200.15+ firmware version...
