Powerline technology isn't the same as routers. It is essentially a bit of wire.
Firmware is mostly there for plugs with wifi.
Apart from that it is "dumb" technology. Plug it in and it should work. If not, something else is happening. See what plemans says.
If you want more advice, tell us a bit about what is happening at your end.
Take this comment:

We need a bit more than "it does not work".
What are you doing and where does it go wrong?
Here at least, PL1000s were a doddle. Plug into router, then plug into remote socket, attach access point, bingo. I had to do nothing else.
