Hi unchewable,
Welcome to Netgear Community!
You do not need to reverse back to the older firmware, use the latest version 2.0.1.40.
JGS524Ev2 works with Category 5e (Cat 5e) or better Ethernet cable.

Awesome thanks I should have all cat 5e but I will check as this is a over haul for a call center this had me freaked out. Seems like everything has calmed down now maybe that shorted wire was causing a loop I can even log into the switch via chrome today without having moved any wires.
Hi unchewable,
Please avoid forming loops for network environment. If you see all ports LED blink quickly, and you cannot login the switch, maybe loop happens.
If your concern has been resolved, please mark the appropriate reply as the “Accepted Solution” so others can be confident in benefiting from the solution.

Yeah the really strange thing was without changing any of the hardware except the firmware change I wasn't able to navigate to the switch via chrome but I could with IE that is what threw me. I am glad I found that loop it has probably been there for years as it was installed by someone else.
