Welcome to the community! 🙂
Since you have tried to factory reset the GS116Ev2, let us try this. Disconnect the GS116Ev2 from the existing network. Then, connect a PC directly to any port of the GS116Ev2. So its just the GS116Ev2 and the PC connected to each other. Be sure to observe the corresponding port LED light where the PC is connected to, it should lit up. Then, set a static IP address on the PC (for example: 192.168.0.210). Then, check if you are able to get replies when you ping the default IP address of the GS116Ev2 which is 192.168.0.239.
Are you able to get replies when you ping the default IP address of the GS116Ev2 which is 192.168.0.239? If yes, try to access its web-GUI.
