That's a seriously strange one. Never seen anything like it before.
Have you factory reset the plugs? This could break the links with any parasite plugs.

How do you know that these plugs are connected to your router? What do they look like in the Network map for the R6300?
Have you tried the desktop genie? The Network map, when it works, will have separate tabs for Powerline stuff. It might give some clues as to what connects to what.
