I decided to go wire , despite having a very decent wifi network made of two ubiquiti UAP-AC Pro at home ...Two switches including the managed Dlink DGS-1210 -10 ports..

The system is quite unstable with frequent disconnection from the network... when I stream any online source (radio, Qobuz, Tidal)...the system will play for 15 mn then stop.. then start to play again after 3 min.. and when I'm frustrated, I will unplug dialog and replug it and start over etc... on a single day, the system can stop at least 10 times...

That's a lot of Phantoms you have! Are they all wired to the same network switch?

Yep, recommend disabling Green features (for now).
Also noticed your switch has something called SafeGuard which blocks UDP/Broadcast/Multicast flooding, disable that too.

Save/Reboot the switch and see how it goes!

Hello again

Yes,  i have to get rid of some of my Sonos and amp, speaker to offset the cost of the phantoms... very proud of my devices.. the network issues are the only setback...

I have also disabled the safeguard engine on the switch.

The problem I have got starts from the very beginning.. as my house is located in non cable area... and ADSL was very slow ( max of 3 Mbs)..
I then setup a Point to point link using two Ubiquiti antennas with my friend who live in a VM cable area 1 mile away... The link is strong (99% permanent) and I can now get 100 Mbs in the house..

So the virgin Media router is located at my friend house and from the receptive antenna of the P2P, I have got the DGS-1210 managed switch downstair...two of the Phantoms are connected to the DGS-1210.. which  also feed a Netgear GS108PE Gigabit switch... the two phantoms upstairs are connected to the GS108PE.

Ideally, I would have preferred all the phantoms to be wired directly to the DGS-1210.. But that mean running many cables through the house which is not an option now...

I have discussed the issue with Devialet and was told to use the Airport Extreme instead...but can't see where to fit the airport in my current settings..Will considered the Airport extreme if I can figure out the best way to use it in my house....any suggestion will be greatly appreciated.

I have now disabled all extras from the DGS-1210 and will see.


Thx
