PowerLINE WiFi 1000 - Second PLW1000v2 wifi not working
I set up a PowerLine WiFi 1000 system to extend WiFi to a small office in our backyard. We've had no issues with it. I recently wanted to extend WiFi to our garage, so I purchased a second PowerLine WiFi 1000 system. I did not use the second PL1000v2 with the second system, just the PLW1000v2.
I placed the PLW1000v2 in the garage and connected it to the original system. The lights on the PLW1000v2 indicated everything is operational. However, when I connect my computer to the new PLW1000v2 (MacOS) WiFi network (NETGEAR64-5G), I get a "no internet connection." See the photos below. Neither the TV I am trying to connect nor my phone will connect to the WiFi network.
The NETGEAR66-5G, displayed below, is the other PowerLine WiFi 1000 network in the small office. My computer and other devices connect to the NETGEAR66-5G WiFi and experience no issues.
I have tried various troubleshooting methods to no avail. Any recommendations on how to solve the issue?
Thank you!

Hi, This almost looks like your new PLW1000v2 does not establish a powerline connection, due to different powerline keys. Probably you have the other new PL1000v2 also plugged to the AC power, and these two new devices are making up a new dedicated PLC network, and the LED make you believe it has a network connection?
The second PL1000v2 is not plugged in. There is only one PL1000v2 plugged in.
Have configured the Powerline Key or used the process with the [Security] button from the fine manuals?
P.10 from the Quick Start Guide might help:
