How to setup Netgear WNCE2001
I am trying to resurrect an old Netgear WNCE2001 that someone installed for me on my Yamaha grand piano Disklavier about 8-9 years ago. I've got it plugged into power, an Ethernet cable into my laptop, and the manual says that when I fire up my browser it will go to the setup page.
No it does not. Since the manual also says to disconnect from my home network, wired or wireless, my browser can't go to ANY web page.
So how do you get to this thing to get it setup, or is it just too old to be useful anymore?

Contrary to what the manual says, when I press the WPS button, the WLAN light does not turn amber or any other color. The LAN light is green but the WLAN light remains off.
try factory resetting the wnce2001.
then when you connect a pc/laptop to it (disabe the wifi on that device) try to navigate to the mywifiext . net page
Not sure what device your trying to use but that adapter was approved up to windows xp. xp was the newest at that time.
So it might be a little futile to try to get to work.
A cheap wireless extender with ethernet port might be a faster/more stable option
Thanks. Tried the reset, same results. I guess I wish Netgear would put out some kind of "no longer supported, no longer works" notice on hardware that is too old to have it work correctly. This kind of dims my view of using Netgear products in the future based on this poor experience.
