How to connect 2 bundles of Powerline 2000 Extra Oulet

I just bought 2 bundles of Powerline 2000 + extra outlet. I have installed the first bundle and is working well. However, when I try to install the other 2 units of the second bundle, I can not get them to connect with the first two. I have followed the instructions of pressing the Security / Factory reset button for 2 seconds in one powerline of the first bundle and other powerline of the second bundle, but I can get them to work together.

 

I would appreciate any advice / help!

Thanks!!!

    And these plugs are? Model numbers?

     

    Remember, when adding new plugs to an existing network, you need to follow this advice:

     

    >>> Adding a powerline adapter to an existing powerline network <<<

     

    You need just one plug wired into the router.

     

    I find it easier to set up plugs alongside one another where it is easy to check that they are connecting, and then to move them to their final destination. They will remember their settings even when unplugged.
