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.
I believe the discovery method uses ethernet broadcast, so you might also need to disable any firewall/internet security software running on the PC.

That helped! Thanks!
I attached the switch to my local router and then I found its IP address and could log in.
I had assumed that I could connect to the switch without another router.
In the Hardware Installation Guide it says on page 40:
By default, the DHCP client of the switch is enabled. If the switch cannot get an IP address from a DHCP server, the switch’s default IP address is 192.168.0.239 and the default subnet mask is 255.255.255.0.
Maybe that is an issue with the older firmware running on the switch. It was running 7.0.9.12 and I will update it to 7.1.0.7 now.
Thanks for your helpful support!
