Java, Device View and Netgear GS110TP

:) Hope this helps as a workaround:

1. Open Java Control Panel on your PC then click on Security tab.
2. Click on "Edit Site List" button.
3. Add "https://IP_Address_of_the_GS110TP then click Ok.
4. Click Apply.

If ever the above steps won't work then I guess Netgear should really give attention to this.

Thanks for that but yes that is done....

I do think that the fix needs to be addressed by Netgear

Java issue. It's why Java is dying and things like HTML5 are striving. The applet was written in an old version of Java. The security of the latest versions of Java break these old applets. I see this all the time with legacy apps. Netgear would need to rewrite the firmware for the device to use the latest Java or not use Java at all. Old equipment probably won't get updated.

I understand that, although this analogy has flaws, I remember when Mr Jobs proclaimed the demise of Flash. Well several years on and it still causes issues with tablets (Android and Apple) when flash content sites still demand full support or they fail to function.

Ensuring that Netgear is aware of the issue, which I'm told that they already are, at least brings it to their attention and maybe it will be addressed. As you note whether that will filter down to "legacy" products is another matter.

I had hoped that there might be a work around found by someone else which doesn't involve using older versions of Java.

Just to add....

Removing Java 8 and then finding an older version of 7.....

.....whilst there are security implications with running older versions, and they are stopping any further updates to the 7 edition shortly, at least it shows that it works.


Netgear I need a fix.!

Same Problems with GS752TS, GS728TPS and M4100 -Switches !

--> Please rewrite in HTML5, no reason to risk java-security-problems for this "device-view" and popup features. <--

Same for GS724Tv4.

Just wanted to add the log file entries for NetGear support.
Log file entries are:

<14> Mar 29 11:18:42 192.168.250.2-1 General[49495940]: web_java_socket.c(5103) 1331 %% Invalid recv datalength.
<14> Mar 29 11:18:42 192.168.250.2-1 General[49495940]: web_java_socket.c(5103) 1330 %% Invalid recv datalength. 

:mad: any update from Netgear ?

Doesn't seem promising for a working resolve whilst using the latest version of Java.
