I have great news to share ... I borrowed the V2.0 upgrade disks from my
local Yamaha Dealer, Chris Henderson of Henderson Piano here in
Cincinnati, and when I used their set of disks to do the upgrade it
worked flawlessly. And, I was able to easily hook up to the internet
wirelessly using the recommended Buffalo wireless adaptors and was then
able to connect to the Yamaha Internet Direct Connection (IDC) so that
we can now listen to internet radio and directly download songs, and it
works great! So, my conclusion is that the disks that I received in the
mail from Yamaha were flawed. I will contact Freddy and send them back
to him for inspection.
Thanks for your help!

Agree, Fredy is the best. Hope you are up and running soon. The new
features are great!
