wd2go remote web access...latest java update breaks things

In order to get the remote web access back under Java 7 update 51 you will need to add your WD-device domain to the exception list of Java. Following steps are required:

  1. get your WD-device domain from your URL. It may look like https://MyBookLive-device123456.wd2go.com
  2. start Configure Java on your desktop (e.g. for Windows 8.x type ‘Configure Java’ on the start screen)
  3. in the Java Control Panel select the Security tab
  4. in the Exception Site List add   https://MyBookLive-device123456.wd2go.com and   http://MyBookLive-device123456.wd2go.com (replace MyBookLive-device123456 with your own domain name)

Once you’ve added your WD-device to the exception list you should be able to remotely reconnect to your drives again. However, it seems that the Java plug-in is incompatible with IE11. If you are using IE make sure you are running it in emulation mode 10 or less.
