My Cloud (4 TB, P/N WDBCTL0040HWT , S/N WCC4E0615990 disconnecting from the network and I:
I have firmware version v03.01.04-139 (device will not remain on line long enough to upgrade.
Upgrade message:
Following events are generated on your WDMyCloud.
Event title:Firmware update failed
Event description:The firmware update failed. Please retry, and if failure persists, contact customer service.
Severity:warning
Event code:1003
Event time:02-09-2014 01:51:01 PM
Firmware version: 03.01.04-139
The device is very hot to the touch. Could it be that it overheats and cycles itself off? If I let it cool down, it will restart and come online. This seems to last about 15 minutes and the cycle repeats. This happens like clockwork. I only get 15 minutes of uptime before it cycles. The firmware update timed out at 16:01 minutes because the device cycled offline.

Carmin54,
You need to fill out the information request at the top of this thread if you think you have the same issue. Otherwise, your post will be removed. This whole thread is WD working with users to identify the exact issues that may be causing the disconnect. If you read the original post, you’d know WD started this thread. Please supply the information we ask for in the first post, so we can use your information to help us help you.
Here the input
New!
On settings / network profile it says no Internet access whereas I connect fm other laptop / ipad.
Did quick test and got feedback passed.
Is on a static IP address
Awesome, thanks.
[edit]
I passed your information along.
All of a sudden but more or less 3 hrs after I managed to reconnect (after switching off/on the power) the connection broker down…
So there must ne somewhere a hidden section that disconnects after 180 mins…
Again by no means able to contact the NAS nor the dashboard,
Also WD Disoverry cannot find it.
Pls, pls help !
one way to solve this problem is if we all go and return this product. WD really needs to know not to launch products prematurely, and cloud solution is the only reason i paid an extra 80$ for this product. it **bleep** that it doesnt work.
I’m off to canada computers tomorrow to return is pretty looking beast…

Again lost connection overnight.
cannot ascertain after how many hours/minutes.
WD brings me sleepless nights but try to take some hours.
Changed fm static to DHCP to assure it would get / hv ip address.
In router TP Link reserved the originally static address 10.0.0.50 in the DHCP table to the MAC address of MyCloud.
Could ping inside TP Link as well as in Zyxel modem.
Desktop and laptop linked cabled/wireless to the TP Link do not loose connection.
LED still continious on.
Now cannot ping to the MyCloud anymore even inside the router.
So it is for sure a technical problem inside the MYCLoud.
Shall contact reseller to make a reservation to return the MyCloud’s (have 2 of which one still in the box unopened)
that if not solved with 7 calenderdays from now they have to take it back giving me the option to choose another product than WD.

More Dutchies having the same problem thus.
So it is very unlikely a user error/setting. It is inside the WD MyCloud !
Strange enough no shut down/freeze after restart yday 19.30 hrs…
Did not change anything.
This mrng I switched Media Server to ON as may expect from WD to believe this should work properly.
On dashboard it went on to SCAN and after abt 1/2 hr status become IDLE.
Let’s keep the fingers crossed…
Very strange, been away in hospital a week, so as expected drive had gone off line whilst away, in fact my son had turned it on and off a few times to re-access the contents.
It had no lights on at all last night when I came home so cycled the power, and it restarted, and it is still live today so far?
I have a one week old WDMC 3TB. I loose connection to it whenever I connect my WD Passport 1TB external USB drive into the WDMC USB3 port. Unconnect the USB drive and the WDMC comes back to life.
Let me know if you want all the details.
