Cannot access GS110TPP after reset
I purchased a used GS110TPP which I need for its PoE features and performed a factory reset by pressing the reset button on the front panel for more than 5 seconds. I expected to be able to access th...
I did try the Netgear Discovery Tool, but it didn't find any device either, and it also showed the 169.254.x.x address on my NIC.
The 169 address on your NIC is expected, since the switch doesn't have an dhcp server in it.
Did you try connecting the switch to your router? Then check the attached device list in the router config.

The hardware factory reset is described on page 21 of the hardware manual:

Are you seeing the power LED turn yellow turing the reset process?
For some reason I missed this page 21. Thanks. It says:
- 0-5 seconds: power cycle (reboot)
- 5-10 seconds: factory reset, but keep registration
- 10+ seconds: factory reset and loose registration
I tried all three variants. The power button did light yellow(-ish).
But still the same behavior after each reboot/reset (169.254.x.x address).
Thanks anyways!
