New feature and modifications:

• In addition to English, WEB GUI can now be displayed in German (Deutsch) or Japanese (日文).
• Implemented new and more secured encryption algorithm to work with newer versions of Plus Utility (V2.7.2 or higher).

Notes:

• If using web browser to perform the upgrade from v1.0.0.0 will fail. Please use Plus Utility to perform the upgrade.
• If using web browser to perform the upgrade from v1.0.0.2 will fail the first time. Please upgrade the firmware again using the same web browser or use Plus Utility to perform the upgrade.
• There was an issue with v1.0.0.0. VLANs. Link Aggression stops working when GSS116E is being boot up or when firmware is being upgraded from v1.0.0.0. The issue is fixed in v1.0.0.2 or newer versions.
• Once you upgrade your firmware to v1.6.0.3 or newer version, you will no longer be able to use the ProSAFE Plus Utility versions prior to v2.7.2 to manage your GSS116E Click Switch. You will need to download the latest ProSAFE Plus Utility from http://www.netgear.com/support/product/PCU
• After upgrade your GSS116E to firmware version V1.6.0.3 and if your device’s bootloader version is V1.0.0.0, you will be prompted to upgrade the bootloader after logging in to the device through web GUI.
