4151 TopicsFW page shows 'Updates Available'
Experiencing the same thing with WBE750 APs. Notification that FW updates are available went out and the FW page shows 'Updates Available' in some icons, but when you attempt to 'update' it just says you are on the latest version already (it's not). The manual files are not available on the downloads page either, so it's not possible to do it through the local interface. Forcing a factory reset and starting the device up from new also does not appear to make a difference (ask me how I know). Hoping this gets sorted out within a couple of days369Views0likes9CommentsWAX220 firmware 1.0.3.5 apple instability
When I first bought my wax220 I had trouble with iPhones and iPads staying connected to 2.4g WiFi. Netgear produced firmware 1.0.3.4 and that solved the issue thankfully. I had no issues since. Yesterday I tried upgrading to firmware 1.0.3.5 and again my iPad had issues connecting. I could see in setting that the WiFi was constantly connecting disconnecting and reconnecting I downgraded the firmware and the issue was resolved. other devices such as Amazon fire tv seemed to connect ok but I didn’t stay on the new firmware for that long to really test ive seen other people complaining that 1.0.3.5 exhibits stability issues with apple devices any advice about this? Why hasn’t a new firmware been created? thanksCLI support for GS108Tv2?!
Dear Community, I'm new on this forum but have been using Netgear stuff in a SoHo setting for some 15 years now. First a ReadyNAS RND4000NV, then a WNDR3800 (wifi) router, and then a bunch of GS108T managed switches. Wonderful stuff. Recently bought one more GS108T but this turns out to be a different beast. I found that my old switches are GS108Tv2 and my latest is GS108Tv3. And the latter supports CLI. Being a Cisco pro (bit rusty now), I instantaneously activated Telnet access (to the CLI) to experiment with it. Nice! But now I'm wondering about my bunch of GS108Tv2's: do these also have CLI support (either official or non official)?! Thanx in advance, Steyn van EssenSolvedNighthawk M2 IP PassThrough stops working when idle

I attempted to upgrade a GS752TP from firmware version 60.0.1.16 to 60.0.1.30. I followed the instructions here, just with the 60.0.1.30 firmware instead of .24 as shown in the instructions. When I rebooted, the switch powered up, but I cannot connect to it in any way. The Power LED lights up and alternately switches between green and orange very slowly (maybe once a minute). The LED Mode LED is on solid green. When the Power LED is orange, the port 37 and 43 link LEDs light up solid regardless of if anything is plugged in. When the Power LED is green, whatever ports I plug into will light up solid orange. The LED Mode LED stays on solid green the whole time. I've tried pushing the "Reset" and "Factory Default" buttons on the front and they don't seem to do anything (i.e. - it doesn't reboot/reset as far as I can tell). I've tried connecting to Smart Control Center, but nothing shows up. I've tried the default IP's I can find in the documentation (192.168.0.239 and 192.168.1.1) and I can't access the web interface. Obviously, something went wrong in the upgrade process, but I'm really not sure how to even troubleshoot since the switch is basically non-responsive to anything I do.GS724TPv3 The switch loses IP connection about 1 time in 5 days.
Hi, I have Netgear switch GS724TPv3, newest firmware installed The switch loses IP connection about 1 x every 5 days. I don't know why? While power supply of IP cameras powered via POE is maintained. IP connectivity from router and connected devices to switch is lost. After hard power off and on of switch everything works. The restart pin on the front of switch does not restore connectivity, it requires complete power off. The switch has a static IP address to avoid problems with address reservation from DHCP router. Looking for a solution to the problem of setting up a reboot script for switch GS724TPv3 from my NAS Synology via ssh or telnet. Can someone with experience help me with writing a script.

Hi, On Jan 6, 2026, 10:02 PM PT, I received alert from Netgear Insight Alert (via e-mail) that new firmware is available: WAX625/WAX628 Firmware Version 12.5.0.12 I am interested in installing this firmware as it supposedly fixes issues with random reboots and I was experiencing something similar where device just locks itself and all SSIDs become unavailable and the only remedy was power restart. Those power restarts are not trivial for me because WAP is PoE powered and high up on the wall. I was forced to buy a timer which cuts out power to the whole network rack including main router (fw) and WAX625. I went into the Netgear Insight > Firmware > Set Target Firmware (upper right corner) to find this firmware 12.5.0.12 and it is not on the list. The latest I see is 11.8.0.9 which appears to be also the one I have installed and the latest one listed on the product page: https://www.netgear.com/support/product/wax625 So, I am wondering what is going on here? Why did I get this e-mail when the firmware is not generally available for install? Thank you!852Views6likes13CommentsGS105Ev2 firmware fails
Today I started working with my brand new GS105Ev2 switch (I already have a GS108Tv2). Out of the box I discovered there was a firmware update available for the unit; version 1.4.0.9. (The stock unit was firmware 1.4.0.6). At this point I only changed the default IP. Apparently this unit has to be updated through TFTP.. annoying, but ok. I fired up the TFTP server, let the switch acquire the correct firmware file. The switch reboots.. and... it came back at the default IP (192.168.0.239). The webserver presents a simple page with a menu "Firmware Upgrade" and "Reboot". Under "Firmware Upgrade" it shows two boxes "TFTP Server IP address" and "Image File Name". So it seems this is a boatloader management page to recover a failed firmware. So I fire up the TFTP server again; result: "Firmware is upgraded successfully. Please wait for the switch to finish rebooting with new firmware." The switch reboots... and again; the bootlader page on the default IP. What the heck is going on? I've tried the older firmware version (1.4.0.6), I've tried different TFTP servers. Nothing seems to work.SolvedUpgrading firmware on GS105Ev2 -- fails using TFTP
Greetings, I have two GS105Ev2 switches that need a firmware upgrade. The current firmware on the switches is 1.3.0.3 and I'm trying to upgrade to 1.6.0.11 downloaded from the Netgear site. The only option available on the switches is a firmware upgrade via TFTP. To that end, I installed a SolarWinds TFTP server on my troubleshooting laptop (Windows 10). I've also checked the following: 1. The switch management webpage is reachable from the laptop. 2. Both the laptop and the switch are on the same network segment. 3. The TFTP server service is running on the laptop. 4. The laptop Windows Firewall has been configured to allow TFTP traffic (i.e., I've configured the firewall to "allow the TFTP server to communicate"). 5. The .bin file is located in the TFTP server root folder. Even with these checks, when I initiate the firmware upgrade process I receive the error message "Could not locate TFTP server". Does anyone have any ideas on what else I should check? Is there any other firmware upgrade method for these switches? Thanks!1.8KViews0likes2CommentsNetgear WiFi 7 WBE710 802.11k/v Disabled After FW upgrade.
I upgraded to V11.8.0.14 and I'm not seeing on my devices that 802.11k/v are now disabled. I know 802.11r is only supported with InSights but now they are disabling features? I rolled back to V11.5.1.5 and then they show enabled. Why is Netgear disabling features for APs? Is anyone else seeing the same? You can't even open a support case with Netgear without paying nowadays. This are extremely useful protocols for device roaming and now they are disabled in the backend? I would like an explanation. Factory reset performed made no difference. Quick Configuration Settings - Everything else is default. Static LAN IP Configured 192.168.x.x SystemName Set LED Disabled - High doubt it is this.
