Unable to install bootloader via webui from my Windows 10 desktop

Hi, my new Netgear 5-port Plus Switch that I bought used on Amazon is prompting me to upgrade the bootloader every time I login as an admin and I downloaded the firmware from Netgear Support but I keep getting the following error message "Invalid Bootloader Image File Name." If I try to name the firmware file from "GS105Ev2_V1.5.0.5.bin" to "GS105Ev2_loader_V1.5.0.5.bin" as the little disclaimer at the bottom says, I get a "Transferring file..." message for a few seconds before the connection gets reset. And I go back to square one when I login as Admin again. What do I do?

  • I figured it out. Upgrading via ProSafe Plus Utility worked like a charm.
