Re: Netgear GS308EP

Just received a new GS308EP switch.

I set my network settings on my MacBook Pro (2014) to manual, address of 192.168.0.210, subnet of 255.255.255.0, gateway of 192.168.0.239. Opened a tab in Safari and entered 192.168.0.239. It saw GS308EP and asked for password. I entered: password and it just stays on the password screen. I entered a wrong password and it says incorrect. Correct password does not take me to the admin page. I tried the SWITCH DISCOVERY TOOL. It sees the switch, takes me to the password screen and I still don't get to the admin page. It just stays on the password page. I reset the switch and tried again 3 times. It just gets stuck on the password page. Help?! Thanks!

Ensure the switch does have a current firmware in place https://www.netgear.com/support/product/gs308ep#download

Dropping the browser cache might help to forget non-matching stored information.

Still possible, some minor incompatibilities exist on the embedded Web code. Try an alternate browser instead.

Firmware is current.
I placed a wireless router into the chain, changed over to DHCP and it worked. Weird.
Thanks!
