Thanks for the reply, how do I change the protocol? As far as I can tell the Pro Safe Utility supports my switch.
I'm able to find the switch using the utility so I assume its supported. Do I need to be connected directly with the switch or can the update be performed by Wifi?
Fyi, I have been attempting the update while directly connected.
Just in order to understand you correctly: Did you try launching TFTP update over the web interface or the utility? AFAIR the Utility cannot use "another" protocol as it connects over its own way/protocol to a switch. If it can find the switch and connect to it, there is a chance it does support it.
For comparison: I had issues launching and completing TFTP update by sending the update commend Web UI using a GS110TP, it did however work when I connected and then update the firmware using the Netgear utility and then uploaded the firmware using the utility. It was very slow but ended up working.
Overall I'd try being connected to the switch over wire but that's a generic recommendation for all updates since the chance of being disconnected during an update is lower than on wireless.
