Powerline HDX Internet Just Stopped Working

Mac osx 10.12.6

Router Netgear N600 WNDR34500

I have a direct line from the router to my Mac, but I use my powerline for my home theater system in the other room via converted router to switch. 

I also have a single block XAV 101v2 which I picked up at a thrift shop that works, but I havent been using it.

I've check pretty much everything I need to check to see if the rest of the system works and it does, but I only get the power and the ethernet lights to work on the blocks.

 

Checked, cables, outlets from different room. The only thing I cant check is where I put in the original line to the wall from the router.

 

Any suggestions?

 

 

 

I went to work yesterday and everything worked fine, but when I came home the blocks werent working.

    What does that mean? You buried a LAN cable from the plug to the router?

     

    There is a manual for the HDX101 somewhere at the end of this link:

    This is a seriously old device, launched in 2007. There have been three generations of faster plugs since then.

     

    If it won't work, you can get much newer plugs for good prices these days. The 500 Mbps (AV500) stuff is still available if you don't need the 1000 Mbps with its support for Gb LAN.
