After static IP, and VLAN, how do I connect to my GS308E?
So I just recently purchased the GS308E 8 Port Enhanced Switch.
I set up the VLAN on ports 1 and 2 for my gaming devices but afterwards I set up static IP for my router and unfortuanly now my router is not recognizing my new GS308E switch. I cant get into its settings either because well I dont know the IP address ever since I changed the routers IP to static.
Does anyone have solutions?

While it's a little bit unclear on how this additional VLAN does fit to the unknown router and IP subnet et all - most Plus swiches are discoverable (as the management isn't restricted to a management VLAN, and if configured to DHCP it can pick an address from any VLAN) by the NETGEAR Switch Discovery Tool (NSDT).
i fixed it had to re-do everything thanks

So I did a hard reset on the router to factory settings and then I carefully changed the IP on my router, logged on my switch and changed the default gateway to the new IP, then my new IP for the default gateway didnt work in the browser so I pressed the reset button on the back and it worked. I was able to use the new IP's in the browser for the Switch and gateway
