GS748T v$ bricked?

Well, I've only just managed to get thing working!

 

I've been messing around with this thing for about 4 hours.  The fix?  Repeatedly tryiong to send it firmware, factory reset, send again, reset again, repeat.

 

So I'm very glad it's up and running and the replacement I ordered about an hour ago will be a spare!  But I am left thinking updating firmware is still more delicate than it should be.

 

Historically I've always used Netgear equipment.  Two reasons, reasonably priced and they don't often stop working.  However I can honestly say I've had day long fights trying to get routers, switches and ap's working again after updates have gone wrong.

 

This area really needs an overhall.

 

That's just my two penneth.

 

But, if anyone else stumbles upton this thread with the same kind of problem, just keep going at it and keep your fingers crossed!!
