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?

    While many questions about routers are generic and could be answered anywhere, some things need specialist knowledge.

    You might get more help, and find earlier questions and answers specific to your device, in the appropriate section for your hardware. That's probably here:

    Smart / Plus / Click Switches - NETGEAR Communities

    You might like to search there for messages related to your problem.

    I will ask the Netgear moderator to move your message.

    In the meantime you could visit the support pages:

    Support | NETGEAR

    Feed in your model number and check the documentation for your hardware. Look at the label on the device for the model number.

    Check for various troubleshooting tips.

    You may have done this already. I can't tell from your message.

    I mention it because Netgear stopped supplying printed manuals and CD versions some years ago and people sometimes miss the downloads.

    Yet another duplicated post, likely by the Spam and scam Mafia, predictable abuse ahead.... Answered in-depth before here.
