1 suggestionWe could not find recent information about this app in publicly available sources. Given the bundle ID and category, this appears to be a network management utility from NETGEAR's product lineup. To determine whether a native Apple Silicon build is available and what your update path should be before Apple removes Rosetta 2 in macOS 28 (September 2028), contact NETGEAR technical support directly at support.netgear.com or check the NETGEAR downloads page for your specific switch model. Ask whether the Switch Discovery Tool has been updated to run natively on Apple Silicon, and if not, when such an update might be available. If NETGEAR does not have a native version planned, you may need to consider alternative network discovery tools or using a virtual machine or older Mac to manage your switches after September 2028.
