GS105Ev2 - Unable to access switch using a browser
For nearly 10 years I'm a happy user of my GS105Ev2. Now I want to log into the UI again, but (of course) did not remember any credentials. I've reset the switch by pushing the reset button with a pa...
What does the product label show - probably GS105E-2A1NAS - certainly the packaging did... ?
Which firmware version the Netgear Switch Discovery Tool (NSDT) or the legacyProSAFE Plus Configuration Utility (v2.7.8 is still available for Windows as an .exe installer, so be warned) on Netgear GS105Ev2 Downloads? My uneducated guess is it will show v5.4.0.3. Note: 1.6.0.11 is the last ever released firmware for this GS105Ev2.
Last: Netgear -never- used http basic auth for their switches!
Long story short: All explained here before.

Hi Kurt,
Thank you for your time.
The product label on the back of the switch says:
GS105Ev2
I've managed to install the NetGear Switch Discovery Tool on a Windows machine and connect with the switch.
As you can see firmware version V1.2.0.5 was installed.
I also installed the legacy ProSAFE Plus Configuration Utility on the Windows machine and connected with the switch.
With this application I was able to update the firmware to the latest version: 1.6.0.11. After the update all was as it should be: when surfing to the default address of the switch I was shown the "new" UI asking me for thé password.
Now, the same thing I was able to do so with my MacBook.
Happy being up-to-date with switch firmware!
