GS105e V2 Firmware
Hi I'm trying to reconfigure two GS105Ev2 ProSafe Switches. But I can not log in or Reset the switches. The firmware version they have is V2.2.0.5 Any idea what can i do?

This does look like yet another GS105Ev2 OEM version - Netgear firmware versions are in the v1.2 ... v1.6 range. v2.x or v5.x firmware looks like an OEM one.
Suspect the label does not state something like GS105E-200xxx (where the 200 is the key), probably the Web UI does not show up either, or asking for a username and a password.

These are clearly switches not sold by official resellers or retailers. Where are these coming from?

I bought it on the internet, of course it was a used hardware.
So, are you telling me, there's no way to manage it?- schumakuJan 16, 2021Guru - Experienced UserNever said this. This is well possible a variant intended and customized for an OEM. It's not a NETGEAR product as sold by official sales channel.
Consider to return it to the seller.
What is the exact model designator printed on the device label?- schumakuJan 16, 2021Guru - Experienced UserThis might explain the source and a possible way to bring up the standard Netgear firmware to it:
