Do you mean WiFi is down  or do you mean internet?  To play locally stoerd content only a LAN is needed, not an internet connection.

But in any case you could connect your phone to line in and play any audio source from the phone, using the Pley:5 as a standalone speaker.  You have to set up line-in Autoplay first.

Your phone should remain active for calls, but I think you would have to detach it to use it in practice.  It will depend on the phone.

It won’t be a phone cable or Ethernet cable.  The line-in is a 3.5mm stereo jack.
