Hi
I encouter the same problem last week (where I just purchased the WD MBL), the WD2GO was never successfully until now. The WD support advice me to reset everything, using Full Factory restore, I tried, it show connection status was Ready, when I tried to configure the WD2GO, the connection status changed back to “Connecting”.
I had done many reset, nothing successful. So far, no reply from WD support yet. Good to know that it wasn’t a unique case to me. I had been suspecting firmware issue, because even I disable the Remote Access, the connection status still shown as “Connecting” 
Let see how fast WD support can resolve the problem for us.
