switch not able to pass on internet and not being seen by the wizard utilities tool
Netgear FS728TS V1H1 Hello I have recently aquired a switch with the above mentioned model number. I have replaced the power supply board internally afterwhich it boots up. However when I plug ...
Seriously want to spend time and effort on such an old beast, where you don't even know its still operational and workable?
Your adventure could start here (as you already figured apparently). -> https://www.netgear.com/support/product/fs728ts#docs
First (and probably the last) action would be to locate the Factory Defaults Button - in hope the utility will be able to discover the switch then again, and give some basic controls over it's IP address on the SmartWizard Discovery
program, plus some (DHCP client, ...).
One point worth mentioning: FS726T Firmware Version 2.0.1_14 shows
Note: This firmware adds support of the new Smart Control Center to the switch. It does not contain any other enhancement or bug fix. Only upgrade to this firmware if you have downloaded and installed the Smart Control Center. The Smart Control Center software can be downloaded here. The upgrade process requires the use of the Smart Control Center software. Once the switch has been upgraded to this firmware, it can only be discovered and managed by the Smart Control Center and can no longer be discovered nor managed by the Smartwizard Discovery Utility.
