Hi Hypnosis4u2nv,
Since your GS105PE switch came with firmware v1.3.0.3, it is not advisable to jump to the latest firmware version. I suggest you to update the firmware in a ladderized manner. Start from v1.3.0.3 to v1.4.0.2 . Then, from v1.4.0.2 to v1.4.0.6 and so on until you reach v1.5.0.4. Once you upgraded to v1.5.0.4, you will need to upgrade the bootloader as per instructions on this link. After you have upgraded the bootloader, it is required to perform a factory reset on your GS105PE switch. Afterwards, you can continue to upgrade the firmware from v1.5.0.4 to v1.5.0.5. Then, from v1.5.0.5 to the latest v1.6.0.3.
You can download the GS105PE firmware versions on this link.
