Disklavier

I had no problems with my existing airport network to connect wirelessly to my Mark IV.  I 
was able to transfer files from my computer (Mac)  to the Mark IV without changing or 
adding anything back a few years ago.

To take advantage of the newer features (i.e. the lovely disklavier radio transmissions) I 
did need to add a airport express station plugged into a wall socket near my disklavier to 
access this feature.    The airport express station is unobtrusive and works great!
