    I happen to see this post today. I have the Model
    GS728TXv3 switch. I checked to see if this posted version was seen by the switch. Only one update was seen today, Firmware Version
    25.22.42.69
    Firmware is up to date

    I see that this newer posted FW version is more resent. Is this version up on the update services yet or can I manually update the switch to this newer version that you posted?

      As always, the Live Update feed is delayed for a few weeks, just like on consumer routers and mesh systems.

       

      Of course, you can update right away after consulting the release notes.

       

      Network admins should not always believe in what that thew Online Firmware [Update] button and the Maintenance -> Online Firmware Update -> [Check for Update] does. 

       

      Give you an example of a MS510TXUP, connected and updated by Netgear Insight, and updated weeks ago from 1.1.0.8 to 1.1.0.9, set to active as part of the process

       

      Netgear Insight does perfectly rotate the active firmware image, so updating always the other, not yet active Flash image . This would allow - in case required - to revert to the previous version.

       

      However, when using the device local [Check for Update] button, the switch does falsely assume an update is required, even if the up to date version is in place -and- active for almost half a year.

       

      The Dashboard does show it right, even after using [Update]:

       

      While the Maintenance -> Online Firmware Update -> [Check for Update] does -falsely- suggest an update on the image section intentionally kept on the previous version:

      ...

      Can JulienR​ please let QA check and RD fix this mishap? Would not wonder if all the Smart Switches with the nice updated Web UI are affected. FURRYe38​ you can compare on yours please :-)

  • JulienR​ What hits my eyes are the 2.0.0.5 versions for the GS108EP, GS308EP, GS308EPP - is there similar update in the pipeline for the GS308Ev4 which is (in my understanding) a direct sibling?
