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...
I apologize that the switch got broken while exhausting the troubleshooting steps. I suggest you to open a support ticket with NETGEAR Support at anytime here to process an online replacement. Be sure to upload a soft copy of the Proof of Purchase or Sales Invoice of your GS108PEv3 for warranty verification. If the hardware warranty is valid, an online replacement will follow.
