jsit,

 

Welcome to the community! :) 

 

I dont want to connect this switch to the internet. How do I obtain the registration key so I can activate all the features???

I advise you to open a chat or online support ticket with NETGEAR Support here at anytime.  Kindly state your concern or you may provide the link to this forum thread.  Be sure that your contact number is indicated in your MyNETGEAR account.  A registration key will be requested to be generated and it will be provided to you.  

 

 

Regards,

Allow me to respond to both responses.

  • This only started occuring when I updated the firmware to the most recent version availabile right now, 7.0.2.4. Before that we had full access to all features. After is when it started forcing a registration key requirement.
  • I have chatted with Netgear support for over an hour. They insisted connecting the switch to the internet was the only way to proceed and could not explain if I had to connect to the internet what the purpose of the Registration Key for offline activation was, or how to obtain it. Thus, my frustrated post on these forums.
