New WD Hard Drive

I just purchased a new WD 2TB wireless hard drive. Am I to understand it will not work wirelessy with a desktop computer unless the computer is configured to work wirelessy

You may be in the wrong subforum. What is the model name of the drive you purchased? This subforum is for the single bay/single drive My Cloud device which is not wireless.

If you purchased a My Book Live see the following subforum.
