I asked about Spark 2.0, and was told that it would probably allow you to select Dialog Wifi or PLC as a preferred method, but no to using external wifi. :-(
Spark ----[home wifi]----> Dialog ----[Dialog wifi]----> Phantoms
So clearly, replacing [home wifi] with a mesh network has an effect. Mine looks like this:
Source----[optical]----> Dialog ----[Dialog wifi]----> Phantoms
Note that my home wifi network doesn't figure in to the equation at all. The Dialog is only using it for firmware updates and to communicate with Spark, which I never use unless I have to. Thus, turning my home network off completely or replacing it with an Airport Express has no effect.
If I could get the damn thing to simply maintain a given state without randomly un-selecting my one audio source or spontaneously rebooting itself, I would unplug it from my network entirely, and ditch Spark altogether. The only reason I ever open Spark is to re-setup the Dialog when it's crapped its pants again.
I don´t think I can ever solve my issues without adding ugly ethernet cables all over the apartment, and with ceiling to floor windows that should look real good. /s
