Hi, my Wd Dashboard is no longer working (Black Shortcut on the desk top). When I click on it it says “Page Can not be loaded.”
I did recently set up a wifi range extender and I’m assuming that has something to do with this problem. Can you direct me on how to resolve this issue? I filed a support case with WD last week but have yet to hear back. I did however get a response to a support case I filed back in novemeber. So if you think nobody is on the wd support team fear not. They are there. Just don’t expect a reply in under 3 months!
I think you must first check couple to things:
1- What is the the color of the front LED of your device?
2- Are you able to access your data via other mediums (like your laptop, mobile etc)?
3- is the Ethernet cable connected to your device? is it blinking?
these are all to make sure that your device is connected to the netwrok.
Please check and feedback.

Just to be clear like I said everything is working as far as accessing my data. But when I click the my dashboard icon my browser pops up and is unable to load the page. It tries to connect to an IP but the IP cannot be found. I’m wondering if I have to run the set up process again or something.
I am trying to access the Dashboard for the first time. Entering “admin” leaving the password empty did not help.
Reset (twice) did not help. Hotline had no idea.
Technical support is not accessible. I tried now about 15 (!!) times.
I can see the folders and upload and read files. But I have no control over my device. My guess is that it is not working with Apple Macbook etc.
Is the only way out returning the product? The support is really terrible!
Not your email address, no. Local user accounts (and you can only access the Dashboard locally) are single names; your first name if you entered a given name and family name. e.g.
joe user
joe@user.com
would be given a MyCloud local user name ‘joe’.
Email addresses are used for remote access via mycloud.com
I tried it as you described but still no access to the dashboard.
And again. After reset it should be “admin” which also did not work.
I did read he chapter 6 up and down.
I do get the to fields to type in user and password. But it does not work.
Not on Safari, not on Chrome, not on Firefox.

If you are using a Windows PC right click on the shortcut choose Properties then look for URL under Web Document tab. Place this in your browser and see what happens.
If the above does not work go to the Control Panel>Hardware and Sound>Devices and Printers, if your My Cloud is showing do the same thing, right click on it choose Properties then UPnP and check what it says the URL is.
After a 4 second reset, the administrator’s password is cleared, but the administrator’s name is not, I don’t think. So it ought to be the first name of the administrator.
System factory restore (40 second reset) clears users, and thus returns the administrator name to ‘admin’, with no password.
Try closing the browser tab, or clearing the cache; I think I’ve seen ‘phantom dashboards’, operating from the cache, when the cloud isn’t yet responding.
Then use the IP address of your mycloud in your browser’s address window:
I looked up the IP address in my DHCP client table of my router. But I cannot access the device with that IP address.
Cleaning the cache also did not help.
Sure.
Many times now and again this morning.
I think I waisted of my time (and time of many supportive people in this community). I will wait if WD ever contacts me until the end of this week and otherwise ship it back.
