Just bought new GS110TPv2 - Have I made a mistake?
Bought a GS110TPv2 to replace GS108PEv2 in a LAN segment with 2 other GS108Ev2s and a GS116Ev2. Parts of the LAN would cut-off infrequently. A power cycle on the GS108PEv2 would restore function. I n...

The GS510TLP and GS510TPP represent the newer generation, built-in power supply, with higher resp. much higher PoE capacity, fanless resp. with a single fan in the Netgear Smart Managed Pro line-up.
Worth mentioning are the GC110P, GC510P, and GC510PP from the Insight Managed Gigabit switch line. These come with a very comprehensive feature set in standalone management mode.
Still, if you like the small enclosure with the external power supply, We might want to challenge Netgear bradleyv why the Device View is still not adapted to current technology, as browser makers abandoned NPAPI for years (after many more years of announcements) rendering the Device View in Java useless..

Device View (and the local management GUI) is not the intent of Insight Smart Cloud Switches. They are an alternative/backup way to access some of the most advanced (and lesser used) capabilities of the switches, with the primary access/management being Insight.
That said, they still have "Device View" and it doesn't require Java or anything else; it's all done through HTML5.

An Insight switch is either in Insight Cloud Management mode, or it's in local Web management mode.
Rumour is that some features/functions can be configured as long as the switch is in Local Web Management mode, and these are retained once the switch is migrated to the Insight Cloud Management mode.
However, I can't see that this should be done in reality - as there is no more control access, audit becomes impossible, ...
If things would be fully co-operateable, there would have been no reason to limit the Local Web access. Switching between the modes can't be part of the normal administration process, too.
Can't find any related documentation or KB entries.

The browser makers announced ceasing from supporting NPAPI years ago - so there was plenty of time before your customers are hitting the wall.
