I've seen issues when using this at home (or work) environments when the default IP address range is 192.168.1.*** or 10.0.0.***. there's ways around that but an easy one for many users is just to change your routers range to the 192.168.0.*** range. Then when the router reboots with the switch connected, you can connect to its default address.
for the fancier methods, schumaku is the expert. Mines is just the cheater/easy trick that I've used before.

With a DHCP active, while connected to the network, power-off-and on the GS308E. Takes just a few seconds. Done this on my playground some about one hour ago, because I found the switch had been disconnected from the network by my better half aka. WAF et all đ
Sure, configuring the router temporary to the 192.168.0.1/24 subnet might allow to reach it, permitting there is just one such switch is on the network.
For some reasons, I'm asking what the NSDU or the DHCP server does show so we don't dig in the dark.
