There are two different hardware versions of these switches, v1 and v2.
Current 3.0.0.2 tells us it's a v1 - where only 5.0.0.7 and the latest 5.0.0.8 are available.
Take care about the release notes which are part of these downloads for the v1 model on https://www.netgear.com/support/product/FS728TPv1.aspx#download
Warning:
- Please make sure the firmware version of your FS728TP smart switch is running with version 3.0.0.22 before upgrading it to version 5.0.0.7. Otherwise, the device will become inoperable.
- If your device is running with V1.x.x.x firmware, please refer to the upgrade instruction for version 3.0.0.22.
- Please go to Maintenance->Download to upgrade the boot code to version 1.0.0.5 first before upgrading the firmware to version 5.0.0.7
The 3.0.0.22 requirement is set, however, the boot code might require an update.
Note: The https://www.netgear.com/support/product/FS728TPv2#download v2 versions can't be installed on the v1 model.
