1. I don´t think that they have a peer-to-peer network as it would show up when I do a network sweep in the Unifi System (it even detects networks of neighbours 500 meter away, as we have 3 AP´s outside). If they don´t have any other mumbo-jumbo protocall but that seems less probable.
2. The PLC might be one of the answers but I´m still a bit sceptic about that because I do have very low wifi coverage in our big bathroom thats clad with quite thick granit tiles...and I tried to have a stereo setup in the bathroom with the Phantom II´s but that never really worked great, which would be an indication of poor WIFI reception and no connection via PLC.
3. It might just be the unifi-system that doesn´t show network traffic the way I thought it did....
4. Or it might just be me beeing a nerd with too much interest in how it works instead of spending time enjoying THAT it works
1. I am always loathe to trust religious belief over my own observations so I would agree, I see no evidence of any peer-to-peer communication between my Phantoms. Does make me wonder where I got that notion though. One explanation is that inter-pair Wi-Fi communication was peer-to-peer under DOS 1, i.e. back in the Dialog era, but not under DOS 2. I seem to remember testing it and seeing an up/down traffic pattern on the two speakers that would support it, but my memory is foggy. If so I probably posted about it here, will have a look and see if I can find it. Another explanation is that I just dreamt it up!
2. Have to admit that your Phantom-equipped, granit-clad "big bathroom" made my day. Classy!

3. True, although mine is showing traffic "down" to both and "up" from neither* which would seem to be difficult to misinterpret. Could always be a bug in Unifi of course.
4. Definitely - especially with a bathroom like that!

* That would seem to differ from your observation @diamar. Both of my Phantoms are connected to my AP and I am seeing similar volumes of downlink traffic to both. How are yours connected to your switch? Wired or wireless?
