How to install two adapters (PLW1000v2) to Powerline WIFI 1000

I have the WLAN 1000 (PL1000v2 & PLW1000v2)

 

I am able to connect the netgear equipment to the router and to my computer as instructed.  However, I am unable to get an internet connection once connected to the router.

 

This is very frustrating for such an expensive piece of equipment. 

 

I followed the steps here:

Use WPS to Connect to Your Network (PLW Models)
After your PowerLINE network is installed and running, you can use WPS to connect your access point to
your WiFi network.
To automatically connect to the PowerLINE access point using the WPS button:
1. Press and hold the WPS button on the PowerLINE access point for two seconds and release it.
The Wireless LED starts to blink.
2. Press the WPS button on your WiFi device for two seconds and release it.
When the Wireless LED stops blinking, your WiFi device is automatically connected to the PowerLINE
access point.

 

On the receiver end I can see that there are lights from left to right:

Blue, very light blue, green, green.

 

Let me know what information is needed so that I can resolve this.

Thank you,

-Rob

    I'm afraid your explanation of what is happening is not clear to me.

     

    Can we get back to basics? How is this Powerline network set up?

     

    How many plugs are there?

     

    There is support for this device, including manuals, at the end of this link:

    How are you trying to connect? Wifi? Wired?

     

    What are you trying to connect and what happens when you try?
