That is exactly my current scenario - Dialogue ethernet connected to cable modem/router and plugged into power - all in the utility closet where my central home starwired cable/cat5 hub distribution is located. The Phantoms are plugged in the greatroom which is close, but not necessarily on the same circuit (doubtful). Spark says that both Phantoms are PLC connected when working however. I do have problems with one of the Phantoms dropping - especially while streaming Apple Music via Airplay for some reason, but on occasion with Tidal.
So I'm trying to figure out how to get the Dialogue closer to the Phantoms with the hope of getting them all on the same circuit - or better yet on the same power/protector strip (side question: can a single power strip and plug really handle the current draw of two Phantoms at volume 70????!!)
I have no cable outlet or Ethernet in the vicinity of the Phantoms, so not sure how I'd get the Dialogue it's connection to router and internet. Will an Apple Airport wireless Ethernet Bridge work in this situation (although I may admittedly be misunderstanding the Ethernet Bridging principle here). Other suggestions??
