How can I connect my WiFi enabled adaptor?

[LEE L BECK]

I have purchased an instrument-to-smartphone/tablet adaptor that is reported to use WiFi to do things like transfer items (MIDI Files) between an instrument and smart devices (phones, tablets). I have successfully installed the adaptor onto my router and it shows in the GUI list of recognized devices. I'll admit to not being very proficient with networking so maybe there's something simple that I'm missing.

Documentation for the adaptor covers only installation onto LAN, which I've done. I'm thinking that if I can "see" the adaptor on any of my "smart" devices (I have both Android and IOS) maybe I can click on it to see and copy data.

My e.g., tablet only shows the network name that I'm using for WiFi

what is the adapter specifically? do you have a make and model? what is the instrument that uses midi files? like a keyboard?

There's a lot missing from your query, like the specific device model itself. Please post it's actual name or a link to the product itself instead of a generalized description about what it does.
Going by what you did post, it sounds like you need the app from the device's manufacturer to be able to detect and interface directly with it. But that's just vague supposition based on how a typical, external device interfaces with a mobile device. More details please.

Could be this whatever it is adaptor needs a supporting app from the manufacturer installed on the Android phone or tablet?

Thanks - that's a great help. Now my Android device sees my instrument. I'll work on tis later to progress further.
