Disklavier

Good morning, everyone.

I think that the conversation has become confused. The question is really this:

What device do many Mark IV owners connect to the ethernet port of their Disklavier to that the Disklavier can connect wirelessly from that point to a wi-fi router (such as the Airport Extreme). The device is question is known as a wireless bridge because it wireless bridges the distance that would normally be connected with a cable. The Airport Extreme is not a wireless bridge.

It is true that the Disklavier has a wi-fi feature, but its purpose is to connect to the PRC-100 or to the tablet controller. Therefore, if you want wireless connectivity to your local area network, you need a wireless bridge.

I have one such device that was made by Buffalo. However, Buffalo was sued over this product, and I don't believe that it is available in this country any more. 

It would be interesting to know what other people use. I know some have reported success using an Apple Airport Express. I was never able to get mine to work in this capacity.
