(ITT: Plenty of comments from folks who clearly didn't bother to RTFA.) This appears to be for one specific product, a "smart cloud switch" [0] (which comes with a "1-Year Insight Subscription"). I don't see anything to indicate that the product registration requirement applies to any of their other products.

I bought one of their 108 series managed switches, and "managed switch" always meant a management interface, vs an unmanaged switch. So there could be confusion.

The firmware says you can't access the local browser UI. Insight management is for the online management UI. Even if you don't pay for insight, you should be able to access your switch locally without needing Netgear's permission.

  According the the relevant Netgear Knowledge Base article[0], config file uploads and downloads are supported without registration. I'd expect (I do not own one of these devices) that configuration without restriction can be done by uploading a modified config file. Perhaps someone who owns a NETGEAR Smart Managed Pro Switch could chime in to confirm or refute that. [0] https://kb.netgear.com/000061174 https://kb.netgear.com/000061174
