I have connected the my disklaiver to internet successfully by using the recommended Ethernet adapter. However I wonder whether the USB port(instead of the Ethernet/LAN port) can be used to connect to WIFI? I do have an unused WIFE USB adapter. Will it work? BTW, is the USB for connect to a USB external hard drive? Anyone using a USB hub to allow multiple device?

See my post on June 27 2013 (reproduced below). This might be of interest to you. "An older DKV doesn't need wireless capability to connect wirelessly to a laptop. It just needs a MIDI IN port (USB) to connect an IOGEAR wireless USB sharing station to. If it has no USB connectivity, then it will also need a USB to MIDI interface. The type of USB midi interface is important. The cheap ones from China (the ones with the treble clef symbol not ones with a symbol that looks a bit like a bass clef), which I have found to work very well for connecting to a MIDI instrument via USB do not seem to work with the wireless device from IOGEAR. The IOGEAR device asks for the driver for the USB interface (ie, as a piece of software that can be read). The Chinese USB interfaces that I have used come with a driver built in which installs on the computer when first connected. You will need a device that comes with its driver on a disk. An older Roland USB MIDI interface that I have comes with drivers on a disk. However, I have not tried it with the IOGEAR device - be aware. Here is a link to the IOGEAR USB sharing station http://www.iogear.com/product/GUWIP204/." _____
