There are two types of diagnostic tests: Quick Test: Checks the hard drive for major performance problems. The result of a quick test is a pass or fail evaluation of the hard drive’s condition. The quick test can take several minutes to complete. Full Test: Is a more comprehensive drive diagnostic. It methodically tests each and every sector of the hard drive. Once the test is performed, the condition of the hard drive displays. Note: To complete the test, make sure the drive is plugged into AC power. Product Improvement Program If you join the program, your drive periodically sends its serial number to WD along with basic drive information. The benefit is that you help improve future product updates and enable the Western Digital Support team to help you more efficiently. Participating does not affect your drive’s performance. To join the program, switch the toggle button to On. MY PASSPORT WIRELESS USER MANUAL 55 25 11 PROBLEMS AND SOLUTIONS 15 1 Problems and Solutions Password I forgot the Wi-Fi password of my drive. Reset the drive to its default settings by powering on the drive, pressing the Power and WPS buttons at the same time for around 10 seconds until the Power LED blinks white. Once the drive has powered up completely and the Wi-Fi LED turns blue, you can connect to the drive's default wireless name of MyPassport and set up the Wi-Fi password. Connections I disconnected the drive from WD My Cloud Mobile app. Do I have to set up the connection to the mobile app next time? No, as long as you set up the connection previously, and your mobile device is wirelessly connected to the drive. I took my drive out of range and the connection was lost. If the drive is configured for home or hotspot mode, when you bring the drive back into range, it will automatically reconnect to the same wireless network. If the drive was configured in direct connection mode, make sure the Wi-Fi LED is blue and your device can reconnect to it. I want to share content on my drive to other wireless devices in my house. Connect the drive in home network mode to your home Wi-Fi network. Devices already connected to the drive may automatically connect to your home network (if previously connected to it), or you can manually connect them. Once all the devices are connected to the Wi-Fi network, the drive acts as a wireless NAS device. When I connect the drive to my computer via USB, the drive won’t connect wirelessly to other devices. When the drive is connected to a computer with a USB connection, wireless capability is turned off. The wireless speed is slower than normal. There may be interference in your environment that is conflicting with the drive's Wi-Fi channel or Wi-Fi bandwidth as the drive supports 2.4Ghz band. Interference may come from Wi-Fi devices, microwaves, or other wireless appliances. Advanced users may want to set a different channel on the Settings screen. MY PASSPORT WIRELESS USER MANUAL 56 PROBLEMS AND SOLUTIONS I am experiencing the following symptoms: The dashboard’s capacity panel is not showing a value even after long time. When I connect the drive to my computer’s USB port, Windows tells me to run scandisk. My drive does not show any media on my media player. The Public share is not accessible from a client computer. This is most likely because the My Passport Wireless drive was disconnected from the USB port without safe removal. To solve this problem, you can run scandisk from a Windows computer. See Knowledge Base Answer 11742 for more information. Battery and Performance My drive is not charging. If the drive is connected to your computer with a USB connection, the USB port doesn’t provide enough power to charge the battery. Plug the drive into an outlet through the USB power adapter to recharge it. If the temperature is too high or too low, the battery will not charge. Allow the unit to cool or warm as necessary. If the drive is in use, the battery will not charge. I want to extend the battery’s life. Switch to Battery Life mode on the Hardware page to extend the battery life of your drive if you do not need the maximum performance. Then reboot the drive for the change to take effect. My drive keeps turning off its wireless network. To help save battery life, after a minute of inactivity, the drive automatically turns off the wireless connection and changes into standby mode. Press the Power button to re-enable the wireless connection.When the Wi-Fi LED turns blue, the drive is ready for a connection. I want to get the maximum streaming performance from my drive? Set up the drive in Performance mode on the Hardware page to give priority to the streaming performance. Connect the drive to a power source to make sure it has enough battery power for streaming. Since the drive has Wireless-N with MIMO (2x2) built-in, make sure the wireless network or device you are connecting to supports MIMO. Connect directly to the wireless drive in Direct connection mode to avoid any unknown network traffic or interference. MY PASSPORT WIRELESS USER MANUAL 57 PROBLEMS AND SOLUTIONS The wireless speed is slower than normal. The device may be in Battery Life mode. in this mode, the performance is reduced to extend the battery life. The charge on the battery may be too low. There may be interference in the drive’s Wi-Fi channel or Wi-Fi bandwidth as the drive operates within the 2.4Ghz band. Interference may come from Wi-Fi devices, microwaves, or other wireless appliances. Advanced users may want to set a different channel on the Settings screen. You may be using clients or networks without a Wireless-N MIMO connection or a slower wireless network (e.g 802.11g or 802.11b). I can’t power on my drive. Make sure the battery is charged. If left unused a long time, the battery may be too low and require charging before it can be powered on. Drive Format Can I reformat this drive to another file system? Yes, you can reformat it to NTFS, FAT32, and HFS+. My drive cannot be detected by another device when connected via USB port. My Passport Wireless is preformatted as an exFAT file system. Some devices (such as computers running Windows XP or WD TV media player) may not support this file system. For more information see Knowledge Base Answer ID 11742.
