Welcome to the Community!
Thank you for reporting this issue with the GS116Ev2
What browser are you using when accessing the admin page and making changes? Have you tried accessing it on a different workstation and browser and see if it has the same issue?
Can confirm. Bulk-changing the port description also locked me out of my Netgear JGS516PE with firmware version 2.6.0.48
I tend to believe that when multiple items are selected on the port status page and you hit Apply then somewhere in the background a for-loop is invoked and whatever is in the for-loop appears to be faulty and somehow does the equivalent of changing the setting in the speed column drop-down menu, leading to the port to be in disabled status.
This seems to be easy to fix by whoever wrote the for-loop for that specific part of the GUI.
