Taiko TAP0016 Audio Extreme Router User Manual
This remains a personal matter and also one that ties in with the audio system. Although we have
felt that the Switch and NIC provided the biggest leap, but we are finding that the Router also has an
important impact on some important fundamental aspects of music reproduction. Especially the
sound staging, airiness and fully stable 3D imaging, are aspects that are greatly improved by the
Router. It creates an even more believable “you are there” experience.
Should I turn the firewall off in Taiko router since I have it already on my home router?
No, turning off the firewall should have a negative effect.
Is it normal that from the Taiko Wi-Fi network I can access the internet? I thought that was
blocked.
Yes, that’s normal. It’s a router, functionally the same as your home/isp/internet router. It “shields”
you from “the internet”, aka people on the internet cannot just access your devices, but it allows
you to browse the internet. You can connect outward from the Taiko network, but you cannot
connect into it from another network. So, you cannot control the Extreme using a Remote that is
connected to a different Wi-Fi network.
Will it be best if you browsed the internet from the home Wi-Fi or can you use the Taiko Wi-Fi?
The impact is so small that you won’t notice when browsing the internet while listening. In other
words, it is nothing to worry about.
Taiko doesn’t see fiber as the optimal connection but other manufacturers do view fiber as the
best network cabling. I wonder what accounts for the difference of opinion?
It’s not as much as a difference of opinion but a different situation, caused by the power
consumption of the fiber SFP modules which is typically around 1.5 watts each. Normally this is not
very relevant as a typical wi-fi router will consume between 12 and 24 watts. So not that big a deal
to add 3 watts for 2 fiber modules.
However, the Taiko switch consumes between 1.1 - and 1.3 watts, in other words, less than a single
SFP fiber module. The Router consumes between 5 and 6 watts. Now all of a sudden, the SFP fiber
module’s power consumption is very significant. Add to this that the dominant type of noise in the
router and switch is power supply noise, which is a type of noise which increases with higher power
consumption, and all of a sudden it seems like a less good idea to use fiber.
But as always, it’s highly recommended to form your own opinion by listening yourself.
Is the Taiko Router Plug & Play?
Once installed, Taiko Router works and will work without any required user intervention even if you
switch it off and on again several times. If there's a problem, it's usually on the Home Router side.
This is how IP Addresses are assigned:
- The Home Router will assign an IP address to Taiko Router.
- The Taiko Router will assign an IP address to your Exteme Music Server.
When you switch all your devices off and on again, it is possible that the Taiko Router will be
assigned a different IP address by the home Router from the one it had before. This should not be a
problem. But it may happen that you can no longer "see" your Taiko Router from your home
network which impacts processes such as Remote Connecting via VNC from you home subnet or file
sharing via Samba. If this is the case it is not a problem caused by the Taiko Router but a problem
that must be fixed on the home network side of things.
The Taiko Router will continue to work as intended, assigning an IP address to the Extreme Server
and providing Wi-Fi access. When your iPad is connected to your Taiko WiFi you will still be able to
control your Taiko Server. If you stay within the audio network, then nothing changes at all.
Would port forwarding (if set up in the Taiko Audio router) still function after a restart or power
outage and the home router reacquires the Taiko router via DHCP?
Indeed. The IP address assigned to the Taiko Router by your main router does not affect the port
forwarding rules set up on the Taiko Router.
If Wi-Fi disappears after a reset with no input connected
Wi-Fi does not start if there is no active internet on the ethernet WAN input.
Are there any specific settings that you recommend to users of others routers besides the Taiko
router? Are there any network parameters that should be fine-tuned for best performance?
Thanks.
We have no specific recommendations as the sonic results of modifying user configurable settings
vary from router to router.
