Are you certain you have the WNCE2001? There's nothing in the manual that suggests NETGEAR78_EXT. http://www.downloads.netgear.com/files/GDC/WNCE2001/WNCE2001_UM_24Sep10.pdf
Per the manual, the WNCE2001 doesn't have a client-facing wifi network. It is used more like a wifi adapter - extending the router wifi to ethernet.
You didn't actually need to reset the extender, browsing to www.mywifiext.net and changing the wifi nework name/password should have been enough. In any event, you should try connecting a PC to the LAN port of the WNCE2001 and then browse to http://www.mywifiext.net. If the PC also has wifi, then make sure you turn it's wifi off.
