- microchip8MasterThe WNR2000 is an ancient device and may have compatibility issues with newer tech & standards.
As microchip8 says, this is an ancient device. Netgear put it out in 2008. How did you end up buying one on 2021?
If this 15-year old device is second hand, then it may need a reset to wipe out any settings inherited from previous owners.
As for the rest of your message, I don't understand what you are trying to say.
What has this got to do with a Samsung tablet?

Seven years after Netgear launched it.
Never Changed PASSWORD.Which password? WiFi? Router browser graphical user interface (GUI)?

What is that modem? Make and model?
