Firmware 10.x on GSM7328FS ("v1")
G'day I've seen that 10.0.0.19 is now (wasn't initially) listed incompatible for the GSM7328FS. I do know that in some countries the M5300 line with a 24-Port SFP model was launched, but I hope GS...
While they took some time to give an answer, here is what I got from a local Netgear guy when I asked him:
The GSM7328FS (v1) would not have enough flash memory to receive the 10.x firmware.
Indeed, the new M5300's have 128MB of flash, while the previous one had a mere 32MB. Also the memory has been doubled from 256 to 512MB.
Interestingly our other GSM7228PS also only has 32MB and is not "blacklisted" for 10.x. Hmm, we'll see, I haven't tried updating this one yet.
I've not received an answer whether this means EoL for this Model, or if it will just remain on the 8.x train but still receive critical fixes for some time to come.
