Is the orbi right next to the hub and using the same power circuit?

Hi,
Yes they are next to each other and on the same circuit.
All I did was disconnect the Ethernet connector of the powerline from the BT Home hub and connect it to the Orbi. Then I lost the signal down powerline. When I plug the ethernet cable back into the BT Home hub it worked.
If I plug a laptop into the same Orbi ethernet port it works so I know that it works.
Thanks
