Wd live en wifi

If you have any further questions, reply to this email and we will be happy to assist you. As users have said its not a router so it cannot be connected to by another device even if the wifi was on. Network connection is the reason its called a live, WD envisaged that it would connecting to a network somehow. You could potentially use a network loopback plug which will fool it into activating the wired connection and disable the radio interface.

On laptop computers you can unplug the WiFi from the motherboard. Is it the same way in the WD box or is the WiFi soldered to the the board? The transmitter stage which is basically a special type of amplifier is designed to drive a specific impedance. Removing the antenna could potentially damage the transmitter or even worse introduce a lot of electro-magnetic interference. I found a good picture of the board.

The wireless module appears detached from the board, there is one screw behind the power holding it in place, and there is one cable attached to the board. My question is, is this wireless module self contained? Or is the transmitter or any other wireless parts on the main board? The following is how I set up my network:. I use a Wifi Adapter dongle to access internet from my desktop using the Wifi router in the other room , which is connected to the WD Live Hub.

Thanking you all and the support staff in anticipation that this query would be responded at the earliest enabling me to start sharing my files over this great device.

Yes, the files stored on the internal hard drive can be accessed over your network by mapping to the hard drive inside the Live Hub. Depending on your computer OS, you can use the help file to look for instructions on how to map a network drive. Yes, once the drive is mapped on your computer, you can access it as a network drive. Mobile devices can only access photos through WDPhotos.

ES File Explorer will find your Hub. If you tinker with it enough you can make it go directly to the Movies folder on the Hub. You can do anything with ES that you can do with windoz file system and more. If you want to watch a movie or listen to music or look at pictures it can do it but you might want to get a good app to play video files like BS Player or MX Player. Bubble UPNP is your answer.
