MLB dropping connection

My MBL is constantly dropping connection to my router.  I can unplug the MBL and plug it in and sometimes it will reconnect.  Sometime when I try to open the MBL is redirects me to the my documents.  Also for some reason It will not connect to the MBL web page.  I have had this issue for a while but decided not the use the MBL but due to space issues I need to be able to store info on it but with the reassurance that I can retrieve the data . 

Hi,

Have you tried using the drive with a static IP?

This will help with the connection.

See if the following link helps.
