Okay. After doing some research, I found out the following:
-
My router isnt compatible with my external HDD. (contacted the router help desk)
-
I’ve read that HDD over 3TB will not show up on the the WD TV Live.
…so. clearly it’s my HDD thats the problem.
- i did follow the suggestion on the user manual, still no luck.
I’ve plugged my HDD to both my router and SMP. It does not show up on either and on the Disk Manager category when the HDD is plugged directly in to the SMP is still states that “No USB storage is currently connected to the WD TV”
After reading several articles and even made an attempt to email WD - no reply yet - Documents from WD state that HDDs over 3TB are compatible with the SMP (its even listed on the compatability list). Yet, all the posts on the forum prove that it does not.
I was debating whether or not i should get a new router, but now im thinking I should just buy a new HDD.
