I think the orignal question was about the piano's native wireless interface. It is not advisable to add that to your home network. ; There is nothing useful on that wireless network as it's sole purpose is to allow the pocket remote (and/or) tablet to control the piano.
The network port that you want to get onto your home network (for Disklavier Radio, DKVBrowser, etc.) is not wireless by default. Many people do as Paul suggested and attach that to a wireless gaming router, or something similar to turn it into a wireless port.

I wondered the same thing when I got mine last year. As far as I could tell, you cant change the IP of the piano, it is fixed.

But there is a nice workaround and that is to get yourself a small router that will translate that IP to any IP you want and then you can use encryption as well. THe piano has no native encryption, if I recall.

I bought the Linksys WGA600N and it works without a problem and it's so small you cant see it under the piano. This is a gaming router which is usually the easiest to set up as they are made to translate IPs of gaming units such as XBox.

I access the piano entirely through this router using DKVbrowser which is pretty awesome. Just waiting for someone to develop an Iphone app now.
