WD Livewire Network Maintenance
The firmware for your WD Livewire network can be upgraded to the latest release,
which includes product fixes and enhancements. To ensure you receive the latest
update, we recommend registering your product at
http://register.wdc.com .
This chapter describes how to upgrade firmware and perform simple
troubleshooting.
Solutions to more serious problems may require contacting your dealer or an
authorized service center for assistance. For more information, refer to WD Service
and Support on the second page of this user manual.
Firmware Upgrade
Firmware is an important set of instructions that tells your WD Livewire devices how
to operate, what the interactive screens look like, and how to do what you tell it to
do.
Important: Make sure that all the devices’ AC power adapters remain
connected and plugged in during the firmware update. A power disruption
during the update process can corrupt the firmware and render the
device(s) unusable.
To update the firmware:
1. Go to
http://support.wdc.com. Click Downloads, then the product name (or
photo) and download the latest firmware update file for your WD Livewire device
to your computer.
2. Connect your computer or router to port 1 on a WD Livewire device.
3. Launch the WD Livewire Utility program on your computer. Click Upgrade
Firmware.
