PLP1000s wont connect with eachother
Today, I woke up to find that my PLP1000s had somehow disconnected from each other overnight (they had been working about 12 hours before). I have resetted and attempted to reestablish the connection between the two and yet they are unable to connect to each other, I have tried two different sockets in my house and yet the Powerline LED will remain off. If someone could tell me what to try I would be grateful.
Me and my brother have swapped our receivers and it is now working, thanks for your help.

have you tried them on the same electrical circuit in the house?
Many things add interference for powerline.
these can be:
surge protectors
gfci outlets
arc fault outlets
cheap/bad electronics
cell phone chargers (some)
high draw appliances
old/poor wiring
distance
So many things influence powerline. Trying them on the same electrical circuit reduces the interference
Being as I am only 16, I am unfamiliar with the electric circuits in my house, all I can say is that they were on two different floors. My brother also is using a PLP1000 and his is working without any issues over the same circuit, we have both used our powerlines without a problem for well over 3/4s of a year.
Did you add them to his powerline setup or try to set them up seperate?
