Firmware download GSS116E only shows Prosafe Plus config utility - V2

Does anyone know why the 1.0.0.5 firmware has been removed from the downloads section of the GSS116E?

Eaglehawk,

I believe the engineering team have already fixed the problem that is why GSS116E firmware v1.0.0.6 and v1.0.0.5 are up again on the GSS116E download page. Kindly read their release notes respectively on the links below:

GSS116E Firmware Version 1.0.0.6

GSS116E Firmware Version 1.0.0.5

I would be happy enough with a slightly buggy one that at least addressed the exploit that I was urgently warned about by Netgear.

The email I got concerning an urgent update was in regard to an exploit in the ProSafe Plus Utility, not the firmware. It's concerning you got an alert concerning the firmware, while some of us apparently did not.

Version 1.0.0.5 is extremely buggy, I immediately started experiencing problems after upgrading. I don't think you want any part of it! I've had old 10/100 hubs that switch packets more effiecntly then this switch running this firmware.

1.0.0.2 was far more reliable.

The alert is linked to in my post above.

I guess I just need to wait. My experience is that Netgear get there in the end which is why I use nothing else. I am, at least, not on the ...5 firmware. Sounds terrible.

I must have posted the incorrect title, but I have now noticed that the 1.0.0.6 firmware is now available again. (Which I installed back in July)

Any reason why it's suddenly back?

On a side note, both of my ClickSwitches "lost" their DHCP leases and defaulted to 192.168.0.239, I had to disable/renable the DHCP setting to pick up and IP address again...
