Sorry about the late reply. I think this was subsequently covered, but the key is that this is an "access point". ; It picks up the wireless signal from the router and it has an ethernet port to connect via a cable to the disklavier. Very simple. Mine happens to be made by linksys. The buffalo system is really for those that don't have routers.

The pdf document did not come over as an attachment.

Am interested in this information. I just subscribed to the Disklavier Radio and am VERY
pleased with it. The Jazz channel is outstanding. I am using a Macintosh portable hooked
via ethernet cable to my Mark IV while putting the Mac in "share internet" mode via
ethernet. I would like to do this wirelessly. I will probably buy the airport express
hardware as suggested in this thread, but am waiting for the newer revision.

thanks,
Joan

I already had a wireless network in my home so this was all that was necessary. It's tucked
up under the piano and can't be seen.
