Try a Ubiquiti Unifi Long Range access point. It's designed to penetrate through long distances and might resolve your issue without resorting to another Dialog which to be honest seems like it could be a bloody nightmare considering how hard it is to get Spark + 1 Dialog reliably working.
Another alternative is to just run an Ethernet cable on the outside of the building just like you would an aerial or phone cable. You can get external grade cable which is as thin as a typical networking lead (UV safe plastic on the outside of the cable basically). Comes in black should be pretty invisible if you clip it neatly.
I actually use all Ubiquiti product for my home network their stuff is amazing.
The problem is Phantom does not use your existing wifi signal to connect to Phantom - Dialog broadcast it's own wifi signal and that's the only wifi Phantom is able to connect to. Without having password to that it's impossible to extend it. Yea running ethernet would be ideal but let's see how power line to extend network goes. It's coming in on Monday.
