Is there an A6150 involved here? Is the actual model number of the
Powerline device "PLP2000"?

Do you have _one_ Powerline adapter?
Visit http://netgear.com/support , put in your (actual) model
number(s), and look for Documentation. Get the User Manual(s). Read.

You might connect a _pair_ of Powerline adapters to any two devices
(one adapter to each device) which you wish you could connect using a
simple Ethernet cable.
If you're trying to use Powerline adapters to connect your
(unspecified) "a gaming computer" to your router using a pseudo-wired
connection (instead of a wireless radio connection), then you'd connect
one Powerline adapter to a LAN Ethernet port on the router, and another
Powerline adapter to an Ethernet port on the (unspecified) "a gaming
computer". Read the User Manual for the Powerline adapter. Really.
