Accessing GS108Tv2 via Mobile App

Discovery works regardless of the subnet, all what's required for the NETGEAR Switch Discovery Protocol (NSDP) for discovering the device by the NETGEAR Plus Utility and NETGEAR Insight is a transparent Layer 2 network (LAN, WLAN).

 

The GS108Tv2 - like many other non-Insight enabled network devices - has only "limited support" by the Insight App.

 

While the NETGEAR Plus Utility is able to communicate and configure the switches using Netgear NSDP, too - the NETGEAR Insight App can only discover and assist with the device registration for the "limited support" (non-Insight enabled) devices. To manage these, a Web browser connection is required - thus either the same IPv4 subnetwork is required, or a properly routing environment must be in place. 

 

 

HI there, thanks for replying. . Yes the Android and the switch (as well as my entire network) is all on the same subnet. Every thing is on 192.168.1.x, so there should be no issues here. My understanding is that the problem is that the App only has "limited support" for this switch or the switch has "limited support" with the app, so while I should be able to see the switch with the app, there is nothing I can do with the switch from the app. I actually thought I saw the response to this question here already but I don th bsee that reply when I just checked the question from you phone..

What is frustrating me the most so far about this switch is that while it works great and does what it's supposed to do, there are little issues here and there that appear to me to be "annoying little development problems " that Noone wants to fix because it doesn't affect the operation or configuration of the switch such as this issue and the fact that from within the Web app for the switch configuration, device view does not work because of the removal of Java support from within the Web Browsers (Chrome, Firefox, Edge, Ie, etc). When this was escalatedone to Net gear Support back in 2015, the response from support was that there was nothing slated in the development schedule your fix the device view but they figured it would get some Development time in a couple of months.. We a couple if months have long past and noond has ever taken the time to fix it so ,while yeah I get that it's just more of a convenience feature or neat feature whatever you want to call it, the fact that no one wants to put snytine to fix these little issues, it makes me wonder what major bugs or issues co u ld be lurking in the code somewhere that I just may joy be hitting yet.. it just makes me feel like there us only half hearted support for the device all the way around and that frustrates me greatly because I seem to as kways buy hardware that a development team diluent want to deal with supporting the product anymore which is the reason I will never purchase another D link product again.

And again I get that theseven issues do not as far as I know affect aNY core features and the things that aren't working are just more fun features or cool toys but when people stop caring about the fit and finish of a product it doesn't give me a warm feeling about how well the product will be supported if I ever run into a major problem and really need help.. I hope you guys understand where I'm coming from on this. .Thanks
