Disklavier

That's unrelated.

Every MarkIV disklavier has a wireless network to talk to the PDA and tablet interface.  Any nearby computer with a wireless card can join this network (it's wide open), and, indeed, it's SSID starts with DKV...

However, that wireless network has no relationship with the To/From PC folder, and you won't be able to use the Internet Radio features of the Disklavier if that is your only connection to the piano.

Here's a quick summary.

The MarkIV always has a wireless network (but it's not meant for the end user to ever use [although DKVBrowser lives here])

The MarkIV also has an ethernet port which is meant to have a wired connection to a router or switch and a path to the internet.  It is this port that makes the To/From Piano share available, and it is this port that is used to talk to the internet for the Radio feature to work.  To add a whole lot to the confusion, it is pretty simple to connect a wireless access point to this port on the piano making the To/From Piano and Radio features work wirelessly, but it is increasingly difficult to know which "wireless" connection to the piano people are talking about...

            I found that after connecting by cable to my router and linking my 

computer to the Mk IV  - after disconnecting, my computer started 

finding the Mk IV wirelessly. I don't remember doing anything special 

except connecting to the new wireless device which starts with DKV... 

and is unprotected.
