RE: [disklavier] Anyone getting WIFI working via a USB wifi adapter

2013-07-09 by Geoff Ward

See my post on June 27 2013 (reproduced below).  This might be of interest
to you.

 

"An older DKV doesn't need wireless capability to connect wirelessly to a
laptop.  It just needs a MIDI IN port (USB) to connect an IOGEAR wireless
USB sharing station to.  If it has no USB connectivity, then it will also
need a USB to MIDI interface.  

The type of USB midi interface is important.  The cheap ones from China (the
ones with the treble clef symbol not ones with a symbol that looks a bit
like a bass clef), which I have found to work very well for connecting to a
MIDI instrument via USB do not seem to work with the wireless device from
IOGEAR.  The IOGEAR device asks for the driver for the USB interface (ie, as
a piece of software that can be read).  The Chinese USB interfaces that I
have used come with a driver built in which installs on the computer when
first connected.  You will need a device that comes with its driver on a
disk.  An older Roland USB MIDI interface that I have comes with drivers on
a disk.  However, I have not tried it with the IOGEAR device - be aware.

I have connected the my disklaiver to internet successfully by using the
recommended Ethernet adapter. 

However I wonder whether the USB port(instead of the Ethernet/LAN port) can
be used to connect to WIFI? I do have an unused WIFE USB adapter. Will it
work?

BTW, is the USB for connect to a USB external hard drive? Anyone using a USB
hub to allow multiple device?
