S3300 Device View Java Not Working!

Device: S3300-28X ProSAFE 24-Port Gigabit Stackable Smart Switch with 4 10G uplinks

FW: 6.4.0.19

OS: Win 2012 R2

Device View is not working!

We've installed Java 7u51, and it's still not working. I'm guessing it's also to do with NPAPI Plugins that have been discontinued in modern browsers.

Netgear, what is the solution to this issue?

Do you have any workarounds?

After upgrading the firmware to ver 6.6.4.9, device view still did not work.

Logged in today, a number of weeks later, and device view started to work again.

Strange!

Please use search before posting. Answered and requested an update from Netgear several times already. Most of these switches are old, your's is available since about 2011 for example - but I'm aware some of them are still offered in the market. Newer switches come with the new Netgear Web UI no longer requiring any Java plugin for the device view.

Workaround for now (no, I won't promote running legacy systems/browsers/Java) is to forget the device view - it has very limited functionality anyway.
