GS516TP Not Found using Smart Control Center
I am running the latest version of Smart Control Center and when I click on Network and pick discovery after a progesss bar saying it's discovering all devices, nothing is found.
I can link to the GS516TP running the latest firmware from a mac computer running safari with the IP address. When I try that using Internet explorer V11 on a PC I get the beginings of a login screen that freezes and is blank.
Is there any wat to actually configure this switch on a PC?
Thanks

Netgear will only provide support if I give them money on this switch. I do not have an active support contract.
Even though this has never worked I do have a work around by using my Mac computer and a browser that can access the switch.
I don't plan on paying netgear money when I have a method to configure the switch.
I just wish their software actually worked.

Have you tried other web browsers?

What other web browser would you suggest on a PC.
I to get to the logon screen and I can type my password in. The next screen looks like it is trying to log into the switch. I see the Netgear logo and a logout prompt but nothing other than that with IE 11 and Edge.
All works fine on the Mac browser.
I have tried edge without any luck either.
