Just got delivery of my GENOS. Ecstatic and elated
However also disappointed that my GENOS unit does not have an inbuilt wifi. Don't know why. Am checking with Local dealer but I think Yamaha has been very unfair if they have left out Indian model for including wifi. This when the price in India is almost 33% higher than the US price.
Not done Yamaha. Not to forget that GENOS also does not have any Indian Kits. That's a double whammy

Wow, that would be a let down. You can still use those plug in WiFi dongles that came with the Tyros 5 (even then those T5 owners didn't get one in certain areas).
If you were misinformed about your product purchase, at least here in Canada the purchaser can return to the dealer for full refund. However, if you wish to keep your Genos and somehow get one of those add-on WiFi dongles, then you would have WiFi ability. Remember, you don't need WiFi to transfer expansion from the YEM (Yamaha Expansion Manager), you can still use the USB method.
The Yamaha specs were clear that,
"LAN - Yes (*) , Standards: IEEE802.11b/g/n (IEEE802.11n 5GHz: not compatible) *May not be included, depending on your area. Check with your Yamaha dealer." See bottom of specs page from link below.
https://ca.yamaha.com/en/products/musical_instruments/keyboards/arranger_workstations/genos/specs.html#product-tabsThere was a free Indian Expansion Pack that I downloaded from YamahaMusicSoft, but again, wasn't made available for every region of the world. On the Tyros 5 forum, I posted a share link for those who got left out. Give it a try on your Genos through the YEM and transfer by USB stick method. It is a ppf file.
The photos below are how the files looked on my Tyros 5, but also work fine on my Genos. There are 4 Indian drum kits.
Here is my share link again for the "indian-worship-styles-t5.zip"
