Netgear FVS318G v2 seems to be bricked.
This device seems to be bricked, though hardware warranty is still good. What are my options?
Turns out I had to be more patient (firmware seemed to be corrupted but still loaded after a long time). Support told me to factory reset it. From there I waited a long time, finally the device showed some internet traffic but dropped it. Through specifically old Internet Explorer (WebGUI does not support TLS 1.2 protocol) I was able to access it by "accepting risk" of certificate/WebGUI and then "upgraded" the already installed firmware. Now works like it used to. Did a restore default settings for safe measure.
Thank you!!! 🙂
