Hi Jamington2004,
With my setup of 3 phantoms and dialog I found out that it is important that both ethernet and wifi have to be handled by the same router for stable function. For this reason I have moved the wireless and the ethernet connection (to dialog and in my case to a Mac-mini for handling my local files with Spark) to the second router.
I recommend you to try the use of the wireless of your second router, the one you use for the Phantom system. Disable the wifi of your main router and setup the wifi on your second router the same (SSID and pw, etc) you can still use the dhcp from your main router. In my case this works perfectly with no interrupts 100% reliable for more than 10h of music listening. I suspect that the dialog when connected to a different router than the wireless system on which devices are running Spark for control and serving music gets too long delays to work reliable. All posters here that describe a successfully running system (wireless or wired) describe a star configuration (phantoms, dialog, devices running Spark all connected to one node and not over two nodes). This also makes sense as it minimizes delays.
