Vlan on GS105Ev2 and GS116E
I have a problem with setting up a trunk between two netgear switched, a GS105Ev2 and a GS116E. The problem is I have two routers in my network, one is used for the internet connection and the other...

Your 802.1q VLAN config on both switches looks 100% appropriate for the intended usage - can't see anything wrong.
Permitting the right ports are connected for the intended trunk config, I'm a little bit lost at this point. Update to the current firmware, factory reset, and reconfigure from scratch - just as a as resort attempt.
File a ticket with the Netgear support on https://my.netgear.com/ - provide all the complete insight as you have ready (or add a link to this thread).

Attached you will find the same views for the GS105Ev2.
The GS105Ev2 is at firmware level V1.6.0.6. I just updated the firmware level, it was at v1.6.0.4.
The GS116Ev2 is at firmware level V 2.6.0.35. The current one seems to be v2.6.0.43.
The latest firmware update seems to be about changing the default password.

I have made a support ticket for Netgear support.
I will let you know the outcome.- TomVgwJan 06, 2020Guide
I have received feedback from support.
They couldn't see anything wrong with the config either and proposed a teamviewer meeting.As thay couldn't find anything wrong with the config either, I rechecked the cabling again.
The cable that was supposed to be in the trunk port of the GS116Ev2 (port 13) was the wrong cable! :smileyembarrassed:
After having inserted the correct cable, it worked immediately.
There was nothing wrong with the config, I had inserted the wrong cable! :smileyembarrassed:
Thank you for your help.
