All I did was unplug my 2 TB MyCloud drive from the router for a new router to be installed, and it just started flashing yellow. Tried both the 4 second and 40 second resets, but cannot get it to go to solid blue. It just keeps flashing yellow. Please tell me there is a fix. If not, this speaks poo…

[image] jlandwehr: All I did was unplug my 2 TB MyCloud drive from the router for a new router to be installed… What brand/model is the new router? The following WD Knowledgebase article may be relevant if you have AT&T Uverse or one of the router’s mentioned: https://support.wdc.com/knowle…
