Which GS108E? They come in various versions and flavours.
Manuals are always a good place to start.
Visit the support pages:
Support | NETGEAR
Feed in your model number and check the documentation for your hardware.
Look for the model number on the label on the device.
That page will also have any software, firmware and drivers for your device, if they exist.
While many questions about routers are generic and could be answered anywhere, some things need specialist knowledge.
You might get more help, and find earlier questions and answers specific to your device, in the appropriate section for your hardware. That's probably here:
Discuss Ethernet Switches Plus and Pro Managed
You might like to search there for messages related to your problem.
I will ask the Netgear moderator to move your message.
