My Book Live Duo 6TB Mirrored wont go online

This device has always been on the network with a reserved IP address. However now it is refusing to go online anymore. I have tried everything from changing the cable to ports on switch to actually rebooting the router and reassigning IP address to it and several reboots. Its a 6TB WD My Book Live DUO set up in mirrored mode. What worries me is the following based apparently on encryption that is set without the user knowing. Its about 4 years old.

The unit is running and appears to be working except it wont go online so how do I get in to recover the data and move it somewhere else? There is no USB port so only option is Ethernet.

Hi,

You may try direct connection to PC’s LAN port.
