Appears there were some other GC110/GC110P customers which found industry standard compliant modules (from wally brain variants for 1G copper Ethernet) not workable in these switches, too. 

 

FWIW we're operating various original Cisco SMF modules (with Cisco brand and model ID in Flash) in GC110P and similar GC and other SmartManaged Pro Netgear switches.

Fwiw, I ran into the same problem with two GC110P switches and two different transceivers brands (qsfptek and 10gtek) that I purchased on Amazon.  Based on a forum thread, I rolled my firmware back to 1.0.5.32 and both transceivers started to work immediately.
