Set up question.
I was wondering if my two Phantom Silvers +1 Dialogue and laptop source(via wifi) could operate, isolated from my domestic wifi. IE could I take my system somewhere as use it, say if there was no wifi where I was? Hope that make sense!?
Thanks in advance

My guess is that this might only be possible via BLUETOOTH connection to one of the Phantoms; anything else requires the Dialog attached to an independent Home Network.
You cannot connect directly to the Dialog's own Network with a mobile device... although I don't see why not! I hope they will allow that in future.

I haven't tried with newest firmware but earlier Spark would fail to launch if there was no internet access.

Although Dialog is building it's own wifi network you won't be able to use it because Devialet keeps the necessary security keys a secret. So your laptop simply will not be able to connect to the Devialet wifi network
You will have to connect your laptop with a crossed network cable to the ethernet port of Dialog to do what you want to do. Your laptop needs to be able to grant an IP to Dialog by using a DHCP server software.

@karebe: I understood that he does not want to use additional equipment besides his Phantoms, Dialog and Laptop. He surely knows that a Wifi router will work.

one option is to buy cheap router, or apple airport express, and configure it as router and dhcp server. It is cheap, and you are isolated.

Maybe it is not the most reliable solution, but once Dialog and the Phantoms are configured you can run them without additional network. At least I can unplug the ethernet cable from Dialog, have all Phantoms and Dialog unplugged from power source. When I power up the Phantoms and Dialog without Connection to my home network I can play any source from Dialog's optical input. I have autodetect turned on and am streaming from a chromecast audio. The volume after Phantoms and Dialog have booted is fixed on 35. However using the Phantom app on an Ipad allows me to change that volume. Spark will not work as the Dialog is not connected to the network that the Ipad is on. However the Phantom app uses bluetooth from a Phantom to adjust the volume. How relieable this all works when you take the system to another location, e.g. a party I do not know.
