Disklavier

I just use  a Dlink dir615 wireless router in my house - the piano is plugged into the network (ergo the router) - and I can access it no problem with the Iphone/Ipad app.
I use a netbook that talks to the internal wifi to use DKVBrowser. Both work just perfectly.
DKVBrowser is the best solution for managing the music and making playlists, copying, renaming etc.
The Iphone/Ipad app is the most convenient for running/playing the piano "from the couch"

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.

The Airport Extreme is a wireless router/bridge all in one. Just connect your cable modem or other 'internet' box to the WAN port.

There are 4 LAN ports too, one of which can be used to connect the Mark 4.
