You must download and install an English firmware version to change your switch’s user interface back to English.
To change your user interface to English:
- Visit NETGEAR Support in your web browser.
- Start typing your model number in the search box, then select your model from the drop-down menu as soon as it appears.
If you do not see a drop-down menu, make sure that you entered your model number correctly, or select a product category to browse for your product model. - Click Downloads.
- Under Current Versions, select the download whose title includes (English).
- Click Download.
- Connect your computer to the same network as the switch.
You can use a WiFi or wired network connection, or connect directly to a switch that is off-network using an Ethernet cable. - In the address field of your web browser, enter the IP address of the switch.
The login window opens. - Enter the switch’s password in the password field.
The switch’s default password is password.
The Switch Information page displays. - Select System > Maintenance > Firmware Upgrade.
The Firmware Upgrade page displays. - If the page displays the Enter Loader Mode button, click the Enter Loader Mode button.
The switch reboots and enters into the loader mode. The Firmware Upgrade page that displays varies, depending on the firmware boot loader version that is already on your switch. - Click the Browse button and locate and select the new firmware image file that you downloaded in Step 5.
- Click the Apply button.
When the upgrade is complete, your switch restarts. The upgrade process typically takes about three minutes. After the upgrade is complete, you are using the English firmware version.
To avoid the risk of corrupting the firmware, do not interrupt the upgrade. For example, do not turn off the switch or disconnect it.
