If it can help:
Ethernet:
i connected 2 silvers and 1 dialog to a Netgear Switch GS105. The switch is connected to the apartment's ethernet all the way to the router (BT Hub 5). All the other connected devices use 2 additional GS105 switches attached to the router's other ports.
Power Supply:
the two silver and the dialog are connected to the same unfiltered simple, cheap 4 way gang socket which in turn is connected to a filtered 6 gang extension lead where also tv, apple tv, sky box, blue ray are connected. I guess in this way the communication via power line are preserved.
Wi-Fi:
For sure they run they own networks on two bands. i can see those 2 networks at 2.4 and 5ghz. For sure Spark uses my home network via pc/smartphone/tablet's own IP. Once it goes into dialog (or phantom) the mystery starts.
One thing is sure: i never had connection issues, noises, skipping music, silences, the set up is as simple as it can get - as per instruction manual. reset is as easy. you can unplug/plug from power without messing up settings. everything works as it should. (...from the connection perspective
)))).
