Disklavier

Does anyone have surefire way to make a wireless internet connection 
for my Mark IV?

The only surefire way I know is the one I used: I run an ethernet cord
into the MarkIV from the wireless Airport Express module that I plugged
in nearby.   That's obviously only a quasi-wireless connection.   Others
in this forum may have found some sort of wireless device that plugs in
directly to the Mark IV's ethernet or other ports.

Does anyone have surefire way to make a wireless internet connection 
for my Mark IV?

I have my Mark IV connected wireless via a Linksys wireless bridge, 
Model WET54G.  It plugs directly into the Mark IV's ethernet port to 
make it wireless.  The bridge connects (wirelessly) to a Linksys 
access point then via CAT5 wire to a NetGear switch.  I have not had 
any problems with it since I've installed it.

I also use airport express wireless and works great.  I am a Mac user.
 NO problems.  Works fantastic.

I am a Mac OSX user.  I just plugged in my Airport Express (which I use
to extend the range of my WIFI network from another unit that acts as a
base and connects directly to the DSL modem) into an available power
outlet on the power supply of the Disklavier and then ran an LAN cable
(which I got from Radio Shack) directly into the I/O LAN port on the
computer.  No problems whatsoever.  Worked right away.  The disklavier
shows up as an extra computer or server on your network.

Then it was a simple matter to log into the yamaha disklavier radio
website, register there, and about 5 minutes later I was downloading
music.

I do wish, however, that we had alternative "radio" internet sources for
the disklavier -- sort of like podcasts -- so we could hear a wider
range of music.

Back in August, I posted a method for creating your own wireless bridge 
for your Mark IV with a standard Linksys routers;

Mine still works like a charm.

So I have ordered online the linksys wireless-g bridge WET54g version 
3. I configured it with me PC when it was connected to the LAN.

I then plugged it in to the disklavier but I get the error message 
that it does not see the IP address. Not sure how to link the tho to 
get it to work . Any advice?

David,
 
If you look at some of my comments on this forum from about June 2008, I had lots of problems with precisely that model of Linksys device.  Even though I could use the device to wirelessly connect a PC with the Internet, it wouldn't reliably connect the DKVM4 with the Internet.
 
I switched to a Linksys WGA54G, and it worked immediately.  I have had no problems since.  Other people have had no issues with the WET54G, but I personally wasted soooo much time trying to figure out why I was having trouble that I almost want to kick myself for having waited so long to try the WGA54G.
 
Let us know what happens.  Your DKVM4 definitely can wirelessly connect flawlessly with the Internet.

I'm having issues trying to connect to the internet, too.  I'm using 
a Belken F507330 wireless ethernet adapter.  My DKV says it's 
connected, but there is no IP address (it is set to get one 
automatically)...help!

to work on the wireless before worrying about the DKV.  If the 
computer does connect to the internet through the wireless setup you 
have - then you will need to check some things on the DKV.  It is at 
least a starting place.

Have you tried using this wireless ethernet adapter with another  
device, such as a computer? I would try that in order to determine if  
the wireless ethernet adapter is configured correctly.

When you do so, be sure and turn of the Wi-Fi feature on the computer  
that you are using for the test in order to make sure that you are, in  
fact, getting an Internet connection using the wireless ethernet  
adapter.
