JGS516PE: bricked after firmware upgrade
Hi,
Just got myself a used JGS516PE from Ebay to power my Raspberry Pi 4 cluster and I got myself into trouble... Step by step:
- Plugged it in, used ProSafe Plus Utility software to change its ip config to fit in my network;
- Got into the switch via the Web GUI with the new ip address and changed password;
- Then saw it was using old firmware and tried to install latest;
- Everything went fine as far as uploading and installing but then got stuck at "Rebooting" like forever...
- Powered down/up and now, nothing works... No light showing activity on ports and ProSafe Plus not finding any switches...
Did I brick the switch for good? Bummer...
Best regards

Hi,
Yes it did but I had to push the factory reset button longer than what iswritten in the manual... At least 10 seconds.
Best regards

Hi to all,
Ok, after contact with Netgear support, it works again but I had to do multiple factory default resets to make it so...
