GS908E logs you out of admin web interface as soon as you logon

New GS908E. When I attempt to login to the web UI the switch accepts the password, I briefly see the admin screen, then get thrown back to the login page again.

- Have restarted and reset the switch.

- Have assigned a fixed IP address.

 

One thing I noticed is that when I had no fixed IP address the switch seemed to refresh it's IP address every 30 seconds (Router is on a 2 day cycle) getting a new IP address. Seemed very odd.

    Haven't spotted or read about similar issues for a long time anymore.

     

    Using the current firmware? https://www.netgear.com/support/product/GS908E.aspx#download as of writing it's v1.7.0.3.

     

    Using a reliable network cable connection?

     

    Tell us about the network environment, the router et all the switch is connected to. Similar, let us know the browser and OS you are using.
