Re: WNCE2001 inappropriately providing DHCP connections
Lucky for me I did not purchase them and I can put it all back on the print company to solve.

Re: WNCE2001 inappropriately providing DHCP connections
Netgear makes some good products, but these things are absolute GARBAGE. Hijacking a network by acting as a DHCP server and handing out completely invalid addresses is downright awful, yet that's exactly what these things are doing.
I've contacted Netgear support to try and get a fix. I don't expect to get any help whatsoever.

Re: WNCE2001 inappropriately providing DHCP connections
I Am having the exact same issue - I have 10 devices in 10 different sites to enable wifi connectivity on Canon MFPs.
The sites have chromebooks which randomly connect either to the main router or, at random, to the WNCE2001 with its address as a gateway resulting in no internet connectivity - SOO ridiculous.
The devices are running the latest firmware and had a static ip - I will tried the suggestion to set them to DHCP and assign an address using mac address reservations on the router but no luck - has netgear not got any fixes for this yet? SUCH a destructive flaw.
Thanks

Re: WNCE2001 inappropriately providing DHCP connections
Hi @Reuben12,
Welcome to Community!
Did you install the adapter using a computer? Can you get valid IP when the adapter is set to DHCP? How far are the adapters from the router?

Hi James,
Yes installed using a computer - can obtain an ip when set to dhcp but I set the adapter with a static address. Adapter about 8m from the router.
Any suggestions?

Add me to the list of users that this is happening to. WNCE2001 acting like a DHCP server when specifically told NOT TO.

Re: WNCE2001 inappropriately providing DHCP connections
Add me, also. The unit ran fine for a couple of years before hijacking DHCP. It's now out of my system, to be replaced with a MikroTik RBmAP2n.
