Discovery tool not discovering
I have a GS308EP switch which I have been accessing via the Discovery tool. I have just fitted a new hardrive and reinstalled windows 11 along with all of my software. I have installed the same version (2.04) of the Netgear Discovery Tool but when I launch it the "Choose a connection" box is blank. On my old hard drive this worked fine after an easy install. I am at a loss to know why it is not finding my switch.

Since leaving the above message I have been able to access it via its IP address. Don't know why discovery tool doesn't work though.
