GS105Ev2 does not DHCP or display web admin page
I just received my 2 GS105Ev2 switches yesterday and was excited to get the VLANs configured to support my home network.
I have an Apple Airport Extreme 6th generation router and a late 2014 iM...

Ha, interesting, indeed: Where have you bought these switches from? You should return these to the seller!

Strange, operating many different Smart Managed Plus (and Pro) switches, all Web UI render nicely on MacOS/Safari/Firefox. Any Internet "Security" software potentially interfering with the (not very challenging) Java Script code?
What current installed firmware version is detected by the Switch Discovery Utility?
There was a longer time ago (several years) a problem with some Smart Managed Pro devices, which defaulted for sending the DHCP discovery on the subnet instead of 0.0.0.0 so many DHCP servers failed to assign IP addresses outside of the subnet. Not aware of anything the like recently.
Interesting.

Also interesting is I can ping the switch but when I did a wget to it I was able to connect to the webserver on the switch but got a 404 response from the web server. Is there something apart from the ip address for the URL to the admin page on the switch?

Ahhhh, that would explain it. Yeah, I bought the switches off Amazon. So my question is can I get hold of a Windows computer (available at work) and use the ProSAFE Plus Configuration Utility to load the latest retail firmware 1.6.0.4 and have it behave like a normal retail GS105Ev2 switch?
From reading the other thread - yes.
