You seem to imply that you don’t normally turn your WD Live unit off (but you may not have intended that). If that’s true, that’s the explanation. After a firmware update,. as Rich suggested, you often need to either reset the unit, or power it off and on, and there’s no clear indication you did either.
I would NOT leave the Live on all the time - like any other device, it uses power and will wear out faster being left on. Turning it off when not in use is a Good Idea, and may avoid many issues with it.
(And while I’m not sure which one of us you are referring to, I doubt in either case whether we were trying to be funny. I didn’t know if you had tried it wired, and Tony didn’t know if you had a good connection. In neither case were we trying to be anything other than helpful).
