-No WD2go Remote Access Connection After Changing Routers

Hi. Was hoping someone would be able to help me with a problem i’m having.

I bought a WD My Book Live Duo (6TB), but found the streaming perfromance a little sluggish due to my older Linksys E2000 router.  I then bought a Linksys EA6500 router, which greatly improved the streaming.

However, after switching the routers, my WD2go (both app and web) access would not work.  When I went into the “Remote Access” tab in the “WD Dashboard”, I discovered my connection status was “failed” (Error 31520).  No matter what i did (dis-able/re-enable, rebuild WD2go server, etc.), i could not get a “connected” connection status.

During the trouble shooting process, i hooked up my old router to the MBLD again, and it then had no problem getting a good connection status.

I’m not sure why it is doing this. Did the MBLD become set with the IP address of the E2000 router I originally hooked it up to?  How can I change the MBLD to the IP of the new EA6500 router and get a good connection status for remote access?

Thanks for any help.
