Disklavier

I use a Mac with my Disklavier Mark IV with a Airport Extreme Main Base hooked to my router which is hooked to my Mac via ethernet cable.  This is the same base station that allows me to have wifi to other computers and devices in my home.   I have an airport express station that I plug into an outlet near my Mark IV which is a different area of my home and is connected to the Mark IV via an ethernet cable.   The Airport express device allows me to communicate via wifi between the Mark IV located upstairs and my computer located downstairs.

Not sure what type of wireless ethernet station,  PC users are using with their setup.

In one of this forums discussions, Jack Brennan says:

For another option, you could use the TRENDnet TEW-647GA
gaming adapter. I have two of these in my house, one for
my TV and one for my Disklavier, both of which use wired
Ethernet only. The one on the Disklavier is tucked right
up under the piano; it's small enough to fit and after
initial setup, you never have to touch it again. Once in
a blue moon, the adapter will "wedge" and stop carrying
traffic, but you just power cycle the adapter and you're
back up in two minutes.

Here is a link in this forum, where some PC users are discussing the suggested Buffalo wifi routers that Yamaha recommended and what they found and what they used.

Also, if you need the documentations for your Mark IV, here are some links to access the manuals, and paperwork that is available on the Yamaha site and some I put online.

If you are missing some of the older Mark IV manuals and handouts that were supplied by Yamaha, I have posted some of these at:

For those looking for the original manual, quick manual and tablet user guide for their Mark IV Disklaviers, these are available on the
Yamaha site at the following address:

 Just type 'Mark IV' in the search field and you will be taken to a  page that has the manuals for the Mark IV disklavier.
 

Hope this helps you,
Joan

He had me purchase a wireless G USB adaptor to communicate with my router and set up the USB on my primary PC where the router connect to. I don't see how that makes sense and it certainly doesn't work to plug the USB adaptor into the disklavier. I'm afraid I have the wrong hardware. Thanks!
