Ah looks like we face the old confusion from the basic mechanics in the physic course at school ... on these earlier Netgear Switch design, it's Download. Think about you sit on the switch.
Sorry for not having realized this user mistake before.
Amazing they have not changed the wording on these later enhanced and updated switches, similar to the XS712T I used as a reference before. History is difficult to change sometimes.
This UI and Markup is indeed much older than 10 years, as these switches were manufactured for more than a decade, some were even stackable GS724TS, and an early model supporting inter-VLAN-routing GS724TR. The renewed GS724Tv6 model with optional Insight management was released not so long ago, probably in June of this year without checking the news releases.
Sorry again for my confusion, should have realized this long before.

Looks to me like something not compatible with your modern (unspecified) browser - the Web UI should remain operational as documented.
Im using current chrome. But it makes no difference with Safari, Chrome, Firefox (Mac) or Edge, Chrome, Firefox on Windows 11 ... there are also no JS errors nor hidden elements. The whole page looks very crappy with its iframes... did not see such markup for at leat 10 years.
I also tryed with Internet Explorer on Windows Server 2022 ... looks exactly the same.
As my last test, i was spinning up an old XP vm and tested in Internet Explorer 8 from 2009 ...
same result:
