Two Powerline Adapters In My Router/Modem
Hello all,
I've recently purchased a new Powerline adapter in addition to my current powerline that I use.
Long story short, when I have both powerline adapters plugged in and connected to my devices, my WIFI cuts out and cannot be connected to as well as my devices that are connected to my powerline adapters.
When I have one powerline adapter plugged in everything works fine, but when I try and have the other in use, everything goes down.
Please help.

As I understand these things, a pair of Powerline adapters emulates
an Ethernet connection, using power wiring. What was _one_ Powerline
adapter doing for you before you got "a new Powerline adapter in
addition to [your] current powerline that [you] use"?

Too short. What, exactly, are your "my devices", and what, exactly,
is connected to what, exactly? (Hint: If a device has multiple Ethernet
ports, then "connected to device" is not enough detail.)
Do any of these Powerline adapters have makers and model numbers?How did you configure them?
