Powerline adapter issues - not recognizing each other

I have the same issues. I missed my 90 day window, because I thought I could set it up myself. Netgear made it sound like any 'nonthechy' could do it, well I couldn't.

The easiest way to set them up is to put them close to each other in the same room. Then when they are set up you can move the "remote" plug to where you want it.
