GS105Ev2 FW reads v5.4.0.3
I was looking through the F/W versions of my various switches to make sure they are all current. My GS105Ev2 is reporting back in ProSAFE Plus Configuration Utility that is has F/W v5.4.0.3. The Netgear Support page shows the current F/W version to be v1.5.0.5.
Should I upgrade to v.1.5.0.5 although it appears to be a down-grade from v.5.4.0.3?

I went ahead and did the F/W upgrade with the latest .bin file, version 1.5.0.5 without any trouble.
I just found it curious that the readback F/W version was so far off (and ahead of) the most current version. I imagine it was coded with a typographical error.
All OK on my end. Thanks for your reply.

I also bought several GS105Ev2 switches, and they all have firmware V5.4.0.3. Screenshot from the ProSAFE Plus Configuration Utility is attched. I flashed them with the latest firmware V1.5.0.5 and were successful.
The part number, as stated in the box, is GS105E-2A1NAS.
There is no web configuration in the firmware V5.4.0.3. The built-in webserver replies 404 not found.

What says the Web UI when accessing what is supposed to be the GS105Ev2?
