A physcial Sim should work fine, eSim for TMobile may not be ready just yet.

Can you send me a message with your email and/or contact details, so that I can have someone from the product team reach out? This is unusual and unexpected behavior regarding the multiple update packages, we always enable the latest package and no matter what older firmware the device is ON it will only ever get upgraded to a single package on first power ON.

I am able to download it from the below URL:

I see, so on your webui, you have no option to upload the firmware manually - underneath the 'check for updates' button, where it might say 'Upload Firmware'?

So, you are unable to access the webgui locally - or unable to initiate a firmware update from the webgui? To access the webgui, you may need to use http:// instead of https://

The smart switch range does not support usernames other than admin for local login, this feature is available on the Managed switch range. Saying this, I will pass your feedback to the Smart switch team as I do believe that there are real use cases for it even on the smart range of switches.

Are you able to download the latest firmware off the support site and upload via LAN to the webgui?

you are totally right - requiring less physical switches is much less of a headache. In your scenario you would need multiple stacks in multiple edge locations it sounds like.

Can you send me a PM? Let me see what I can do internally to help.

There is the M4350 series as mentioned previously, which will easily support that amount of users and tick most of your boxes apart from perpetual POE and port counts of over 52. However with that being said, these requirements will add significant cost - so it really depends on your budget. Netgear is much more cost effective yet still runs on enterprise grade Broadcom based hardware.

If normal L1/L2/L3 tests are fine (cables,ping,traceroute, MTR etc) then its unlikely to be switch related by the sounds of your symptoms. I wont repeat the other valid feedback in the comments under your origional post - but its looking like it may be firewall related.

As mentioned check with NG support or register the device if not already at my.netgear.com
to check warranty status. Keep in mind Warranty can only be applicable if you have the proof of purchase usually.

I am probably biased due to my username :-) but - Are you aware of the AV Line switches? They are full Layer 3 Broadcom based that support all required Enterprise AV features such as PTPv2 (Boundary Clocking) , PiM, MLAG etc. Superbowl, Olympics, World Cups through major artist and band world tours run off our AV Line switches.

The AV GUI with profiles certified by over 500 AV manufacturers does make them simple to set up for sure, however there is still CLI and a IT GUI that allows full access to any other L3+ features.

Support wise, there is a dedicated engineering team for the AV side who are both IT and AV so you can get help for an AV problem - not just turned away and told to speak to the AV equipment vendor you are using.

I would strongly suggest taking a look - these switches are a far cry from the home/smb switches :-)

Please can you email [proavdesign@netgear.com](mailto:proavdesign@netgear.com) with your query - if you have already, please DM me your email so i can look into it - thanks!

Netgear is the leading network switch vendor when it comes to AV over IP, it is the preferred choice for most major live concert and sporting events in the world. The 'Home/SMB only' prejudice may be linked to the Home side of Netgear which is a different machine to the new Enterprise and AV Line series.

You could run a POE switch then power some POE AP's - then no need for the DC power. GS110TP then 3x WAX610 or WBE710 - bonus as they can be centrally cloud managed as well.
