Connecting two seperate netgear powerline adapters
I am trying to connect two seperate powerline adapters to the same router. One is the PLP1200 that has the extra outlet built in and the other is the PL1200. The PLP1200 I have been using for months...

Does this mean that you want to create two separate Powerline networks with two separate plugs connected to the router?
Or do you want the two "remote" plugs to share the same network?
The second option is easiest. Just connect one plug to the router band then add "remote" plugs using these instructions:

You can create the connections with the remote plugs anywhere – near the router is easiest – and then move them to where you need the Ethernet connection.
