Hi there,
I had run into the same issue, and a fix that worked for me was kind of rule #1 of the IT world. If it's not resolved, you can try this.
1. Unplug all Ethernet connections. Especially the connection from your Modem or Router to your Powerline connection. (NOTE: Make sure the Powerline connection is also physically disconnected from your PC as well)
2. Power off your Router/Modem, completely, for 30 seconds.
3. Power the devices on individually in the following order, allowing each device to fully boot before powering the next: Modem, Router, Powerline
4. When the Modem/Router are fully booted with the first Powerline connected, connect the second to your PC.
Hope this helps! If not, maybe help someone else who may encounter the same issue.

1. How far is the 2nd adapter from the 1st adapter?
2. Can you try relocating the 2nd adapter much closer to the 1st adapter to test the connection.
