How to update firmware from a Mac
I have a GS724T v2 that needs a firmware update (currently V1.0.1_1104) but can't figure out how to apply the update. All the instructions I've been able to find involve a Wizard and I haven't found ...
Thanks for the feedback. The GS724Tv2 is an old model of a smart switch and we do not have a GS724Tv2 switch to check it that is why I asked you to look for the menu to perform firmware upgrade. Since you already navigated the web-GUI of your GS724Tv2 switch and found no option to perform a firmware upgrade via its web-GUI, then I apologize for the inconvenience that you need to use a Windows computer and install the SmartWizard utility in order to upgrade the firmware of the switch.

Hi wgstarks,
Welcome to the community! :)
As per the GS724Tv2 user manual here, the GS724Tv2 switch has a web-GUI that is accessible using a browser. You just need to know the IP address of it. Open a browser like Safari or Chrome. Then at the address bar, type the IP Address your GS724Tv2 switch then press Enter. A window will pop-up asking you for a password. The default password is just the word "password" without the quotation marks. Once you are logged-in, kindly look for the menu to perform firmware upgrade.

I can login to the settings page without any trouble but I don’t see anything regarding firmware updating. What is the location/name of this item?
