Problem with powerline is many things can inject interference into the powerline system.
These include:
surge protectors
gfci outlets
arc fault outlets
bad electronics
cheap cell phone charges
high draw appliances/equipment
even poorly made electronics can do it.
So if you've checked everything else, try putting the powerline devices on the same power circuit and unplug everything else on that circuit. It should give them enough isolation to see if they're still functioning. I say should because if the interference is bad enough, that might not even work. You might need to try someone elses home temporarily. Ff they connect/work, then its something in the home injecting interference in the system.
