No systematic and proven way to recover and establish a consistent solid connection enough to backup your data reliably.

It loses connection all the time especially when moving large amounts of data(I am using to store full and incremental image backups of my and wife's computers

Lose connection all the time working with ethernet, to slow access, either with wireless or ethernet connection

I recommend gigabit ethernet connection with your computer and external drive is connected to your computer's USB 3 port for maximum speed

After about a day, I've lost connection to the admin page after even setting its IP address to fixed

Constantly loses connection; can't connect to more than 2/3 of the files I uploaded (which only took up 1/2 the hard drive space); more often than not am getting errors that the unit is unable to sync and may require firmware updates, even if a firmware update was completed the day before

My issue with it is that i often lose the connection and that i have to restart it often, which with the price i paid for a new product is already worrisome

It is very easy to attach to your home network and you can access it over the internet so in reality one could place the actual drive at a different location for extra protection if you have a sufficiently fast internet connection

I want to watch movies that I downloaded, but the device just can't maintain a solid connection, and the movie cuts out after some random period of time

But can be as slow as 1-5MB/s using WD app which use its CPU even with fast internet connection or even in local network.

Notably, this is partly because I had to transfer files over WiFi because my MacBook doesn't support an ethernet cable connection

I was able to transfer data to the device with a cord, but I could never get a reliable connection to the device to watch content or access files

Perfect, even on a slow internet connection, access was satisfactory.

Additional info: The drive loses the connection to the second Western Digital drive that's attached to it that I hoped would serve as a backup location to the MyCloud

Lost some connections sometimes like once every 2 months which is not too bad.

It looses connection randomly, it has like 4 pieces of crummy software and the dashboard is sooooooooooo slow.

the software on it is recognized by all my connected devices, but I can't get a consistent connection to it

The one time that it sort of work, the connection was so slow it was worthless

Lost some connections sometimes like once every 2 months which is not too bad.

It earns one star for a good DLNA wireless connection to my WD Media box

It made poor connections to my Yahama 5100 pre-process and Blu-Ray player

works well, if you have decent internet connection.

Content viewing sometimes takes time inspite of fast internet connection.

Loses connection and file transfers often fail

Lose connection all the time working with ethernet, to slow access, either with wireless or ethernet connection

My Passport 2TB external hard drives which ALLOW and encourage USB connection to the computer.

ok product, loses connection when away from home

The only issue I've ever had was that it needed to be rebooted whenever it lost an internet connection

Now the connection to my internal network is "not available".

The only reason I am giving 4 instead of 5 stars is that the connection between the Western Digital website and a needed login and this unit seems unnecessary.

, it dropped the IP on me, losing connection.

And sometimes I loose connection for 15 seconds and starts up again always

The main problem with this MyCloud is that it loses connection and you are not able to access the drive once you are away from the wifi at home.

It's very complicated to set needs an expert in networking, and eventhough it gets a lot of connection interruptions and failures.

on the negative side, the data transfer speed (I/O) is not great.

Eventually after I was able to google a customer support phone number I got through and the tech support specialist who blatantly and rudely argued with me, he was very horrible to deal with as he would not honor the S/N on the device and told me I had to plug it in and find the information of which I was unable to do

It worked as promised, as I first thought.
