NetGear power line 1200

i recently bought the power line adapter 1200 and was wondering if i could plug it into a orbi satellite upstairs in my home instead of the one next to my router because the one upstairs is closer to my office which has my electronics in it. When i plugged it into the one next to my router, the red light for "pick a plug" kept flashing and i was very confused why.

thanks.

    You can. I've even used them in the same room to prevent having to run a wire across a floor. 

    They actually work best if their on the same circuit.
