I agree that it shouldn’t, but it does. See this thread, I’m not alone: https://community.wd.com/t/mycloud-device-disconnects-itself-from-the-network-daily/92919/25
The MyCloud is connected to the wireless router. Some odd things about this:
- internet access is unaffected when the MyCloud goes offline, yet both the MyCloud and the internet are going across the same wireless router.
- A few minutes after going offline, the MyCloud will come back online without my having to do anything.
