Trying to use my wifi ext/adapter

Hello all, I'm James and I want to start by thanking in advance any and all who might be willing to help this newby idiot muddle through...
I was gifted a wifi ext/adapter and barely have a clue how to use it, (please forgive me if I don't know proper procedure for submitting my questions). 1st, can I setup my WNCE2001 universal wifi adapter with my android phone? 2nd, how do I do so?

Hi @JimmyRigger

 

Welcome to NETGEAR Community!

 

WNCE2001 is a Universal WiFi Internet Adapter used to connect your network media player, networked TV, or networked home theater device or game console to your wireless home network.

 

You cannot use your smart phone to set it up. You need to connect the adapter to a computer using an Ethernet Cable.

 

Please open the following links as reference of how to set it up:
