I have looked all over and cannot find the default IP after a factory reset.

Can anyone tell me?

Thanks

http://mybooklive should get you to the login page on it once it is connected to your network and booted.
This is in the OWNERS MANUAL.

“MY BOOK LIVEUSER MANUAL
TROUBLESHOOTING – 127
Setup or WD SmartWare is unable to detect a My Book Live.
If Setup or WD SmartWare is unable to detect a My Book Live, then certain network
protocols may be blocked on the network or the computer. In those cases, the My
Book Live is available through a direct IP or network name connection. For example,
you can open the My Book Live dashboard using http://129.25.676.30/ or http://
mybooklive/.
 If the computer is on a wireless network, connect using an a Ethernet cable
and try again.
 Temporarily disable any computer firewalls, security software, or other
networking and retry.
 Check your local router for any firewalls or security software. If present,
please check your router documentation on temporarily disabling the
software or configuring the software to allow UPnP or UDP traffic”

Thank you for sending me the manual.

But, it Does Not answer my question.

WHAT is the default IP Address???

As stated above 129.25.676.30 OR http://mybooklive the latter has always worked for me. It takes you right to the login page and then you can go into it and set the IP to what you want it to be.

So I have to change my whole IP scheme to 129.25.676.X ???
That makes ZERO sense.
I am guessing that this Western Digital thing is just a piece of junk?
Most devices default to 192.168.1.X

The url should just be http://mybooklive without the “.com”

Whoops…you’re right no dot com. Works every time for me. Even after I had changed the drive inside it, which would be just about the same as a factory reset.
