I also have an Unleashed Firmware Guide and a Ruckus AP Firmware Guide covering all Ruckus controllers.

This page was inspired by Karthikeyan Krish's Ruckus Unleashed filtering tool.

If you don't need dynamic filtering then Purdi have a SmartZone/ZoneDirector Firmware Compatibility Guide, and Andrea Coppini has a Ruckus AP <> Controller Version Compatibility table.

Ruckus also have a guide showing first supported and last supported firmware versions for recent end-of-life AP models here.

SmartZone AP firmware vs SmartZone Controller releases

Unfortunately the Ruckus, Purdi and Andrea Coppini guides show only SmartZone AP firmware versions.

Each SmartZone Controller release supports a range of AP firmware versions, and each AP/Controller has a recommended stable firmware version.

So you can't currently rely on their guides to suggest compatible SmartZone Controller releases.
