Firmware Update
Hi everyone, I just want to make sure I do this correctly. I currently have firmware version 11.0.0.12 and want to upgrade to version 11.0.0.31. As I go through the directions it says to go to the ...
Hi,
Afraid, I must agree the guidelines, and especially the screenshots in the newer release notes (like M5300 Firmware Version 11.0.0.28) are unclear and misleading - including v12 references in the screenshots.
You can continue using the way the firmware image (nickname: Archive) was uploaded on earlier firmware versions with the "old" Web UI design - head to Maintenance -> Download -> HTTP File Download (one of my few complaints on the Netgear switches - complete academic view of upload vs. download, very unique in the industry, the UI designer was certainly a Doctor Professor for Physics) and select Archive and the image storage location (image 1 or image 2). Cross check with the legacy UI update process, e.g. M5300 Firmware Version 10.0.0.53 as a reference.
LaurentMa - food for thought, thank you!

Yes, thank you. I did find it back on verison 11.0.0.23 where it shows Archive.

Great, thak you! As we're not yet on 11.0.0.28 due to some mixed stacks - can you confirm that the .28 does introduce the "Update" menu as shown?
PS. Have just reported that the subtitle on the linked .28 firmware page is wrong, claiming M5300 Firmware Version 11.0.0.23 Release Notes 8-)
I will let you know after I do the upgrade.
