NETGEAR Powerline PLP1200 extender won't pair no matter what I do.

The top power light and bottom ethernet light are both gree, but the middle light telling me it's connected has gone dark despite a bevy of fixes. I've tried re-connecting, factroy resetting, moving to different outlets, different ethernet cables; nothing works. They've been in the same spot for a year and a half now with no issues until now. As far as I can tell, there's no firmware to download for these either. Can someone help explain what's going on?

    Hi,

     

    You can ensure that the powerline adapters are properly connected to the electrical outlets and that the Ethernet cables are securely plugged in. And perform a factory reset on the extender and reconfigure it. Although you mentioned there’s no firmware to download, double-check NETGEAR’s website for any available updates.

    I hope my suggestion will be help you.
