Powerline Adapter PL2000 error
I have a PL2000 powerline adapter for my PC. It worked completely fine up until today. The Power LED light is continuously red. I have moved to every other wall socket in the house and it still is red...
I might take a look at the Zyxel adapters if my Netgear ones don’t fix themselves.

They probably won't if you don't get in there and disable sleep mode.
Do that by using the ZyXel app.
Or reset the Netgear plugs.
While many questions about routers are generic and could be answered anywhere, some things need specialist knowledge.

After further look at the adapters, it does look like the Pick an Plug LED is the one that's Red.
Would this affect any of the advice you have given?

That is a sign of a poor connection between host (router) plug and slave (remote) plug.
That too could be down to sleep mode.
If you put the "red" LED plug sitting next to the host plug, that should rule out any mains effects.
If it is the LAN plug is off, then there is probably nothing plugged into that port.
This is all in the manual.
