The ethernet port is still UP, but no IP traffic goes on. As long as I resume to try pinging, after a while it'll come back and work fine— as long as I keep pinging it. Weird.

I think I've got most problems as everybody have with the Phantoms, but I recently installed a professional wifi-system from Ubiquiti on our property and since then all of my problems are gone. Before installing this system I tried a lot of different wifi-systems and with the same firmware on the speakers, they behaved differently with the different wifi-systems. So I do think that many of the problems users are experiencing have to do with the wifi at least since Firmware 2.10.00...so I you are experiencing problems it might be a good idea to invest in a better Wifi-system. The router does have an impact on the ethernet connection as well....
My system that today consists of 5 x Phantom Gold and 2 x Reactor 900 works just as well as our Sonos system (which I must agree is SO much better at software than Devialet...but lacks the sound) and all but 1 is connected via Wifi.
Just an idea for that ones of you that have been just as frustrated with Devialet as I have....
I had 4 apple airport extremes before and had a lot of issues with the speakers but after I changed them, Ive had very few issues so that might help you!
