Wd live SMP restart loop

      Ok, we own 3 wd live smp and 2 of the older versions. But we just got a new one for the kids. I updated to the new firmware. I also set it up to stream netflix over wireless. Well, I have all the kids devices set at router to loose internet at 9pm on weeknights so I put their wd on that list. But now every night after they loose internet. It goes into a restart loop. I disconnected power and removed drive and it still in restart loop upon plugging power back in. So then I decided to turn parental filter off for a test. And now it works. Block internet and it starts again.

     I think if I unplug router it works also. Is there a reason wd fails to install if router is blocking internet after connection to it? Or is something faulty?

I tink you should report that as a bug. Sounds to me like the WDTV can’t tell the connection was taken out and it’s forcing itself to connect.
