Remote control app does not work once wdlive is set to a workgroup other than "workgroup"

Since my laptop is in my works workgroup I had to change the settings of the wdlive to join the same workgroup so that I can see the wdlive disk over the network. However since I did that, the remote control app on my iPhone is not working, since iPhones and iPads do not register on the network. Any idea on this?

Iiiinteresting.  I’ll have to try this out when I get home and see if I can reproduce.

Hi there, any news?

Sorry!  I thought I had already responded, and then didn’t look back in.

No issues here.

I tried 3 or 4 different workgroup names – worked fine for me.

Tried

WORKGROUP1

WORKGROUPA

AAA

ABC123

Remote app worked fine either way.
