Only the GS316EP - 16-Port PoE+ Gigabit Ethernet Easy Smart Managed Essentials Switch (180W) with 1 SFP Port and the
GS316EPP - 16-Port High-Power PoE+ Gigabit Ethernet Easy Smart Managed Essentials Switch (231W) with 1 SFP Port can be discovered - but unlikley by this legacy ProSAFE Plus Utility you had mentioned before.
Permitting, these switches have a valid IP configuration for your LAN and the same IP subnet, certainly by the Netgear's Insight App, or by the modern, SSDP based NETGEAR Discovery Tool from a device configured and connected to the same IP subnet.
As of writing, all other GS316 model versions are unmanaged switches.
