I have my Phantoms and Dialog all plugged into a 4-way mains extension block so that they communicate over the over line. This has worked faultlessly for over 18 months. In the past I tried linking them by ethernet using a dumb switch: it worked, but gave no advantage over PL. When I did this I sometimes found that one Phantom was communicating by ethernet and the other by power-line, which I did not think was a good idea. It did show that the transmission by PL was about the same strength as by ethernet.
Suggest you try a cheap extension power block and just have one ethernet connection to your Dialog. I also found an optical cable to a Phantom worked faultlessly - I had a little interference problem when I connected it to the Dialog.
