Cannot access Netgear XS708E switch
In my router I can see that the switch gets an IP address, but I cannot access the webUI from its IP address.
I tried resetting it (holding the Factory Reset button for more than 10 secs) but this doesn't seem to change anything.
Any tips?

What IP address does the NETGEAR Switch Discovery Tool (NSDT) show for your XS708E, is it a v1 or v2? The default LAN IP address is 192.168.0.239/24, or does it get a DHCP address assigned from your DHCP server'.
For the early XS708Ev1 (XS708E-100xxx) there might be no Web UI. Instead, you have to use the ProSAFE Plus Utility - available for Windows only.
Due to some uncontrolled phase-out process, the Release Notes are no longer available along with the download link, at least on the English KB.
For the XS708Ev2 (XS708E-200xxx), a local device Web UI is available. Consult the fine 8-Port or 16-Port 10-Gigabit/Multi-Gigabit Smart Managed Plus Switch with 1 Copper/SFP+ Combo Port Models XS708Ev2 and XS716E User Manual "Access a switch connected to a network" starting from p.17, resp. "Access a switch that is off-network" starting from p.18. Either way, regardless of the computer OS, the NETGEAR Switch Discovery Tool (NSDT) is available for MacOS, Windows, and popular Linux distributions.
