Hi DonD,
Kindly try the following:
a. Update the firmware of your GS108Ev3 from v2.00.05 to v2.00.07. Make sure to perform a factory reset on the GS108Ev3 after a successful firmware upgrade then reconfigure it from scratch. You may download the latest firmware v2.00.07 here.
b. If ever the firmware of the WN203 is not the latest version, kindly update it as well to v2.0.11 then perform a factory reset on it after a successful firmware upgrade and reconfigure it from scratch. You may download the the latest firmware v2.0.11 here.
c. Since you mentioned that you have other WN203, then kindly try to set it up to further isolate the problem.
If ever the same problem occurs after doing the steps above, kindly open an online case with NETGEAR Support for assistance. Let them know your goal and the troubleshooting steps we have done so far.

I got sidetracked with an automobile problem that I had to fix right away. I'll do what you recommended and report back.

Hi DaneA!
Well, guess what...after doing exactly what you outlined in your previous note, everything works great now. Must have been a bad update install I'm guessing. Anyway, thank you so much for all of your help! It's nice to know there are individuals like yourself here on the forum with so much great knowledge about Netgear products, and that they are willing to help others. This is a great forum!
Thanks again!
Best Regards!
