GS108T set up
I am having a nightmare setting this up ! I have connected port 1 to a port on my router and as the manual says then connected an ethernet cable from one of the other ports to the laptop, I have ...
Hi DJEPSON,
The GS108Tv2 is a smart switch. You need to change its default IP address to an IP address that is within the IP range of your existing network so that you could manage it easily. As you could observe the instructions I have posted, the GS108Tv2 can be managed via a browser which is, for me, is more convenient rather than using the Smart Control Center utility.
It might be that you need someone to assist you in doing the steps above to set it up. With regard to that, you may contact NETGEAR Support at anytime.
However, if you think that what you need is just a plug-and -play switch, then you should opt for an unmanaged switch. Kindly access the link below for a list of NETGEAR Gigabit Unmanaged Switch models that would fit your network needs.

Thanks DaneA, that sounds like a lot of manually configuration for somethng that is supposed to be straightforward out of the box, I think I will just return the switch for something that is more plug and play
Many thanks
