[WNCE2001] led power still blinking green
The adapter suddenly stopped working.
When switched on, performs a sort of quick check and the LED power switch quickly from red to amber to end in green. At this point begins to flash without stopping. The LED is used to power a regular basis if a cable is connected but the adapter is in fact unusable.
I tried to connect to the GUI in several ways but I did not succeed. I tried using direct ip set on the network card, I tried to DHCP, I tried using the link www.mywifiext.net and variations without success.
Is there a way to reflash the device?

I am having the same issue. My WNCE2001 is "bricked" as indicated by the flashing green power light. I have found a couple threads that talk about re-flashing the device but the instructions are not very clear. Does anyone have a more step-by-step process? Thx in advance!- Ugh me too--that website "cannot be found". Any help finding that firmware to re-do the WNCE2001 adapter would be wonderful. (I had unplugged it to rearranged my stereo wires; little did I know that would corrupt the software)
- Some other forum threads have instructions on how to re-download the firmware, which is the only way to fix the blinking power LED which indicates corrupted firmware. Here are links to the instructions:

And here are some detailed and clear instructions from Netgear. Note that these are for a different router, but they work as long as you use the proper IP address for the WNCE2001, which is 192.168.1.251, when you issue the tftp command:
