The use of this adapter in a network is a risk in my view. The web configuration of the adapter WNCE2001 is not protected by a password. It can read any configuration file and load it into a NETGEAR_WNCE2001.cfg other adapter. This file contains the wireless password and thus the access to the associated wireless network is possible. I know of no other wireless device without password protection of the configuration menu! The support request by Netgear to my fears ended with the statement:
The WNCE2001 will not be developed any further, therefore no additional firmware version is made available, which will include such an addressed Feature.
