Updating firmware on GS728TP using OS X

Note that this is a switch, not a router. Close enough but strange that Netgear doesn't offer a forum for switch owners.   Anyway, my question.... I have only Apple computers running OS X. I don't ...

    Hello BoboBear, 

     

    Welcome to the community! 

     

    We do have a board for business switches on the community, please click here. If you do not have a Windows PC to run the SMC (Smart Control Center), you can update the firmware through the web interface. Please refer to page 234 of the software administration manual and see the maintenance portion of the switch, this allows you to download the firmware file to the switch.

     

    I hope this helps. 

     

    Thanks,
