Can't update GS108PEv3 firmware
I just got a GS108PEv3 and trying to update it to latest firmware, 2.06.10 (it's currently on 2.06.08) I tried 2 browsers (Firefox, Chrome) and the file upload appears to happen, but the switch does...
I managed to revive the switch after finding an ancient desktop with Windows XP, installing the proSafe software on it.
The software found the switch stuck in "flashing" mode and allowed me to finish the flashing.
There should be a huge disclaimer that says "DO NOT USE FIRMWARE UPGRADE FROM ANY MODERN BROWSER"
They don't allow setting file upload timeout nowadays...
Welcome to the community! :)
Kindly try to perform a factory reset on your GS108PEv3 then try to update again the firmware to the latest version.

I tried the factory reset and a crazy reset from https://community.netgear.com/t5/Smart-Plus-Click-Switches/GS108Ev3-wont-complete-factory-reset/td-p/1581309
I'm able to access the switch via the web interface but the upgrade process still gets stuck with progress bar at 100, for many minutes (waited >10min). After that, I open a new tab and go to switch url -- it's still in loader mode -- and I select reboot. It reboots back to normal state with old firmware.
I read somewhere here that if I hold the factory defaults button for a while, it enters recovery mode -- will TFTP work from there?
If necessary, I can also open up the unit and use JTAG interface..
