▪ Download: Generates a diagnostic report and saves it to your computer.

Diagnostics

Run diagnostic tests if you are having problems with your drive. There are two types of diagnostic tests:

Getting Support

▪ 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 Participating does not affect your drives’ performance.

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 about 10 seconds until the Power LED blinks.

Once the drive has powered up completely and the Wi-Fi LED turns blue, enter the default Wi-Fi password, which is the last 8 characters of the serial number. The serial number of your My Passport Wireless Pro/My Passport Wireless SSD is printed on the product label located on the bottom of the device.

Name

What is the difference between the Wi-Fi name and the drive name?

The Wi-Fi name is also known as the SSID (Service Set Identiﬁer) and is used to connect to the Wi-Fi network before you access the drive. The Wi-Fi screen allows you to change the Wi-Fi name. (See “Viewing or Changing the Drive’s Advanced Wi-Fi Settings”.)

The drive name is the name a DLNA device or other computer uses to access the drive's contents. This is NOT the same as the Wi-Fi name. You must be connected to the Wi-Fi network before you can access the drive. The Admin screen enables you to change the drive name. (See “Changing the Password and Device Name”.)

Connections

I disconnected the drive from the 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, there is no need to set up the device again.

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 with 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

My Passport Wireless Pro/My Passport Wireless SSD User Manual

Page 57

Problems and Solutions

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 2.4 GHz band. The interference may come from Wi-Fi devices, microwaves, or other wireless appliances. Try to use the 5 GHz band for better performance. Advanced users may want to set a different channel on the Settings screen.

I am experiencing the following symptoms:

▪ The dashboard’s capacity panel is not displaying a value even after a 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 Storage share is not accessible from a client computer.

This is most likely because the My Passport Wireless Pro/My Passport Wireless SSD 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.

My Passport Wireless Pro/My Passport Wireless SSD User Manual

Page 58

Problems and Solutions

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 the device has a 1×1 Wireless 11ac and 11n built-in, make sure the

wireless network or device you are connecting to supports Wireless AC (1×1). If you plan to connect via 11ac, make sure your router/access point (AP) and device support the 11ac networking standard.

▪ Connect directly to the wireless drive in Direct connection mode to avoid any unknown

network trafﬁc or interference.

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 2.4 GHz 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. Try to use the 5 GHz band for better performance. ▪ You may be using clients or networks without a Wireless-AC

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. The My Passport Wireless Pro/My Passport Wireless SSD device can be formatted to NTFS, FAT32, HFS+, and exFAT.

My drive cannot be detected by another device when connected via USB port.

Please make sure you are using the USB cable that came with the product. If you are trying to use My Passport Wireless Pro/My Passport Wireless SSD and it is formatted NTFS, go to the product page and download the Paragon NTFS for Mac driver (in order to read the drive on a Mac system).
