Powerline PL1000 Pair Not connecting over distance
I wish to create a WiFi hub at the front gate 150 metres from the house. I have a pair of PL1000, work OK around the house but when connected at the gate and the house pair will give me a powerline...

That may be too far for powerline Ethernet, especially if it is on a circuit with the sort of protection needed for outdoor installations.

I don't understand that sentence. Is there a "not" missing somewhere?
Have you managed to get your powerline Ethernet working with the two plugs near to each other? It is usually easier to set them up like that and then move the second (guest) plug to where you want to use it.
Yes, certainly I initially connected the units side by side and then moved one to the gate

You had them connected right next to each other but when you introduce a 150m distance with potential interference, you might be able to get them to connect but the interference could be to much to pass video down it. Powerline is very sensitive to interference over distance.
