It explains how one victim of similar symptoms fixed it by using another maker's powerline utility to disable sleep mode on their Netgear plugs.

Michael, THANK YOU!!! I apologize that I didn't find the post you pointed me to when I first searched the Community for a solution. After you pointed me in the right direction, I installed the ZYXEL's PLA5405 Utility. I ran the utility and was able to turn off standby mode in both adapters. I was able to use the MAC addresses to confirm that I was looking at the correct devices and had turned off standby mode in both of them. It has been only a few minutes since I ran the utility so it is to early to tell if standby mode was the problem; although that is the consensus at various websites. Now all I have to do is remember the utility's name if a power outage or unpluging them turns standby mode back on. :) Thanks again.
In my experience standby mode remains switched off, even after a power cut or you turn the adapter off

That's also my experience. More than that, plugs also remember their settings so that you can set them up close together, where it is easier to press the buttons as needed, and then unplug them and move them to where you want the network.
Plugs that double as wifi access points also remember their settings, SSID and passwords for example.
