Multiple Powerline Adapters
I have 2 pairs of these model powerline adapters. I am trying to get them all on the same network so I an have one main powerline adapter at the modem and the other 3 are around the home (one upstairs, one downstairs, and an extra one for another bedroom). When i try to pair them to the same network. The main one at the modem will disconnect from the one upstairs, then pair to the one downstairs. I kept trying this multiple times but keep coming up with the same result. are the adapters able to be paired altogether on one network?
I put them all in the same room and they all synced up after about 3 tries, thank you, it works!

Take them all to the room where the modem/main plug resides.
Pair them one at a time with the main plug, using the "push button" approach.
When they are all paired and talking to the main plug, move them to where you want them.
They will remember the pairing and should then work as required.

Great. With luck you can now put them where you like and they will still talk to each other.
