WDTVLIVEPLUSHD-No longer connects to internet media & date stuck at 12/31/1999

I am on firmware update 1.06.42_B. The player no longer connects to ANY
internet media (including the “Update Device” system setting option),
although I can connect to all devices on my local network, and the
“Check Network Settings” option passes with no errors. I have already
tried resetting to factory settings, but this did not fix anything.

Hello, the only thing that I can think that might help is performing a rollback and then a manual update.
