GS316, GS316v2 (if it ever existed in your market), and the GS316v3 are all unmanaged switches, and can't be discovered, neither by the legacy ProSAFE Plus Utility, nor the Netgear's Insight App, nor by the modern, SSDP based NETGEAR Discovery Tool.
What model does your switch model show exactly please?
Where is the impression coming from, that your switch should be discoverable on your network by some "magic" tools?
