GS750E WebInterface does not load after firmware 1.0.1.10 update
I'd have replied into this post Re: GS750E WebInterface does not load after update... - NETGEAR Communities but it was closed. So I'll paste the exact post here, so if someone do a google search ...
https://kb.netgear.com/000061411/GS750E-Firmware-version-1-0-1-7?article=000061411 had introduced some New Features and Modifications:
- The default admin password must be changed to a unique password during the first login.
- Changes the Switch Management Mode (System > Management > Switch Management Mode) default value from Web browser and Plus Utility to Web browser only.
This would prohibit the suggested workaround (because of the Netgear SDU protocol API does block the previous functionality to change the password). for security reasons.
Not sure if using the Firefox ESR had an impact on the required password change or if users have not used the Web UI before the 1.0.1.10 update before, requesting the input of a new password before.
we updated my customer's switch from 1.0.0.22 to 1.0.1.10. Haven't tried 1.0.1.7, as there was no update path mentioned.
Password was valid using ProSafe Utility, but not via the web interface, so I guess we were just lucky to not have to factory reset the switch.
