Netgear GS105PE firmware upgrades
I have a number of Netgear GS105PE switches in my network which were all running FW V1.6.0.6. They were all happily behaving themselves (I know if it works don't fix it) but I thought hey lets upgra...
Hi Kurt
Many thanks for the extremely detailed explanation, yes you are correct, in both cases I am powering the GS105 switches from GS108v3.
I did experiment with daisy chaining 2 GS105 PE (again upgraded to V1.6.0.17 from a single port (4) of a 24 port NETGEAR JGS524PE-100EUS but again this did not work. When I downgraded the GS105PE it supported the second GS105 in the daisy chain, so as you say I must be operating right on the limits, good to know.
Given that prior to upgrade everything worked, albeit as you say in a potential fault scenario, I propose to revert all my switches back to V1.6.0.6 and document the ratiionale for not upgrading to V1.6.0.17. That way if it ever goes flaky, I or whoever comes after me will have a guide as to the reasoning.
Given the way these outlying bits of my network are architected it is extremely difficult to get 240V to either the switch or the camera without incurring a great deal of expense but I will note for the future.
Many thanks again for your time and trouble

Everything very vague. Report lacks of the PoE source used to power the GS105PE, lack of information of the PoE Webcam, ...
The GS105PE Firmware Version 1.6.0.17 Release Notes does show, among others:
Bug fixes
- Fixes the issue where port 5 incorrectly adjusts PoE power requests from the powered device (PD).
Worth noting, the long standing GS105PE: PoE troubleshooting remains valid.
So yes, something changed in this area, but it's difficult to follow up your report I'm afraid.
