Yep still an Issue! I have a brand new school that has 10 of these devices throughout the building. Every student has a laptop, all of my projectors are Wi-Fi, and all of my printers are suppose to be. At least thats what I ordered. The company we have a contract with for managed print services decided to use regular printers and these devices. Now every morning I have to go around and trouble shoot these. Some days it's only one or two others (This morning) ALL OF THEM! Screwed up my whole morning.
Lucky for me I did not purchase them and I can put it all back on the print company to solve.
I also have this exact same problem, and I have four of these bridge devices.
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.
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.
