i have recently purchased a WD My Cloud 2Tb unit, installed easily but has now started going offline and i am unnable to access from any device laptop or ipad/phone.
The only resolve is to power down and reboot.
Any ideas appreciated.
Make sure you are on the latest firmware … you can download it from WD and do a Manual Update.
Then check out http://community.wd.com/t5/WD-My-Cloud/Workaround-for-Disconnect-Problem-Works-for-all-my-and-my/m-p/700454#M10078 to solve your disconnect issue.

Thanks for this, I am on the most recent firmware.
I will have a read at the link you have provided, ufortunatley i have a pretty basic knowege of router configuration etc so may have to seek assistance on this, i would have hoped the device worked fine with DCHP.
DCHP works on some systems and others have to use Static IP’s. I think it depends on you network configuration and router you have. I have mine on DCHP and it works flawlessly, But the IP never changes no matter what devices I add or remove. Also I use the MAC address for the IP connection as an “accepted device” for all devices … not sure if that makes a difference or not but it is how my network is setup.
