Taiko TAP0016 Audio Extreme Router User Manual
How does the Taiko Extreme Router affect the existing Wi-Fi functionality?
In a practical sense, the Router allows you to have a second separate audio-only network. This way,
the Extreme Server is isolated from the traffic generated by the home network.
When adding the Extreme Router to your existing setup that already has a router or Wi-Fi Access
Point, you'll then have two Wi-Fi access points:
- Your standard home network, with your computers, TV, video streamer, etc.
- The Taiko Router network that allows you to control the Taiko Extreme Server.
Will I need two iPads with the Extreme Router’s Audio-only network?
It is recommended to switch an iPad from one Wi-Fi. network to another just as needed. Tap the
"Settings" icon, tap " Wi-Fi.", and select the Wi-Fi network you require at that time.
That said, you can still use your iPad for everything (music control as well as browsing, etc.) when
connected to the audio-only network as it has internet access like you’re used to. However, due to
decisions made in combining an as low as possible transmission power with a specific antenna size
while still providing reasonable remote control performance, this internet functionality is not
blazingly fast, limited to about 15Mbps up/down, and this deteriorates if you move out of the room
in which the router is located. You could boost the signal by mounting a larger antenna and/or
boosting transmission power but that has an impact on the sound. As it is currently configured, the
router’s Wi-Fi functionality draws less power than a single active RJ45 network port, and that makes
it more than competitive to a wired connection where you’d have 2 active ports. If one of those 2 is
battery-powered (iPad), we still prefer Wi-Fi.
Does it matter how many devices are connected to the Router?
Reducing the number of devices and ports is definitely beneficial to the LAN side of the router, so
inside your new "isolated" audio network. On the WAN side, traffic has almost no influence. For
example, heavily loading our network at Taiko HQ, running a number of 4K video streams over both
Wi-Fi and wired ethernet to the point where they start stuttering while maxing out our 1Gb/1Gb ISP
link, does not affect SQ at all.
How can I find the Extreme or Network Card’s IP Address?
You can use iPad/iPhone app FING (works via WIFI). If you do not use WIFI for your control point,
you can also use LanScan that works with macOS and iOS. There is a free version and a pro version
but all you need is the free version. For Windows, you can use Advanced IP Scanner.
For the OCD audiophile a quick “tweak” is enabling “low data mode” on your iPad.
What to expect in Low Data Mode
Different apps use different ways of reducing data usage in Low Data Mode. In general, here's what
you can expect:
-
-
Apps might stop using network data when you're not actively using them.
Background App Refresh is turned off.
