GS305E
I just purchased two switches GS305E and GS308E. I cannot get either of them to be found on my network. I have the Netgear insight app on my iPhone and I am able to register both devices through ...
Resetting did not work. I got the other switch to be recognized and decided to send the GS305E back. Thanks for all your help and suggestions. I appreciate the help.
Be sure that you log into the switches web pages using there default IP address with a wired PC and web browser first, thats on same subnet and IP subnet as the switch. Once your in on the switches web page, go in and set a static IP address and subnet configuration on the switch that is on same subnet as your host routers IP subnet. I recommend setting the switches IP address to an address that resides out side of the host routers default DHCP IP address pool. If you don't have one, set the host routers DHCP IP address pool size to .100 to .200. Then set the switches IP address to .35 and .38 respectively for each of your switches. Match the subnet mask and set the gateway addresses appropriately. Then once set, you can connect them to your router network and should appear as a device. Access the switches web pages at the new static IP address respectively in a web browser, i.e. ###.###.#.35 and 38
Check for Insight app connectivity as well.
