Dialog Questions

[sekriT]

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.

Thank you. Worked like a charm. Who would have thought a simple setup would help. The surge protector with both phantoms plugged in definately confused the dialog

Yes, power filters will block the PLC connections.  I have 2 of them.  I hope Wifi will work for you on different levels. My dialog is in the basement with the server, phantoms in the living room.  Even though initial setup worked, dialog eventually lost one or both phantoms and required repeated resets. This is because dialog wanted to use 2.4Gz bandwidth which is very crowded in my neighborhood.  I ended up wiring via ethernet and it has been stable since then.
