M5300 Stacking w/ AX742 kit
Forgive me if this is a question that is answered elsewhere, but I am attempting to stack a couple groups of 4-5 M5300 switches in my school district. Installing the kits is easy enough and I powere...
I spoke with NetGear support and he will continue to research, but he suggested that the only solution would be to configure the UPS to power on the master switch first.
Hi WillieEverlearn,
Welcome to the community! :smileyhappy:
Let us isolate the problem. Kindly answer the questions below:
a. Are all the M5300 switches within the stack have the same firmware version?
b. What is the current firmware version of each M5300 switches in the stack?
Kindly read this article if ever you have not yet came across with it.

All switches within the stacks are running the same version of firmware. (11.0.0.10)
I will most likely upgrade them to 11.0.0.12 soon.
I found that link when attempting to troubleshoot the problem.
I found it odd that by doing nothing other than powering them off and them on in the proper order, the problem was not present.
It seems to occur after a power outtage while all switches are powering up at the same time and only if there are more than 2 switches in the stack. (I have some 2 switch stacks that have not had any problems)
