Our switches will never have access to the internet, But this comes up again and again (Firmware V7.0.9.5), can you please add an setting to disable this completely?
Here it the setting you are behind: Recent firmware should no longer require the mandatory registration according to How do I find my NETGEAR registration key? It states "Registration keys are not required for devices running recent firmware. If you cannot update to the latest firmware and require a registration key, use the instructions below." There is no direct Internet access required for the switch. The key can be acquired using the Insight App or by a Web browser via https://my.netgear.com/ Once the switch is registered resp. the registration key is recorded, the warning will no longer show up. Hint: Put up a note with the registration key in case it's required later again why ever.
Well i know that i can register the switch, but why i need this at all?
- To get rid of the nag message for example 8-) Earlier answer would have said that you can retain the full set of management features.
Look, even if you do not think about ever using the lifetime warranty in case one of these switches should break - it's a great voluntary service by the manufacturer, so doing the registration can't be asked to much. It does not even require an Internet connection from the switch to the Netgear cloud.
