The surge protector is probably preventing the data over power line system working well. My Dialog is 0.6 meter from one of the Phantoms and about 3.5 meters from the other and if I plug the dialog into a filtered mains outlet I get dropouts, so wifi is not reliable for me even over such a short distance.
The choice for a clean system is either wired ethernet or unfiltered power sockets IME, and I tried loads of things for months before I came to this conclusion.
Having written that I have 3 Phantoms, two set up for TV and a third which I can put in any room and it works so far everywhere I have put it (using unfiltered power sockets) including rooms which are on a different ring-main to the Dialog and w-a-y out of wifi range, so the contact through the mains is very robust I would say.
