Powerline products work better when plugged into the wall without power strips, extension cords, surge protectors, or interruptible power supplies.

I have read through here, and could not find my question, so here goes.
Just bought the Powerline 85, simply because we wanted to watch NetFLix on the TV downstairs. We have wireless connection in the house, and didn;t know that the distance between router and computer was an issue. So I purchased the two units, and have one plugged into the wall upstairs by the router, and one directly downstairs, in the wall, connected to the Blu Ray device.
We have watched one movie without interruption, as we see the center blue light keeps blinking, as well as the right green light.
When I go to the NetFLix setup( again and again) it says it cannot read any device, yet the other night, it all stopped blinking and I was able to watch a movie.
This setup was suggested by the Phillips representative I called, and seeing as it did work twice,. what could be the outstanding problem?
Thank you for any reply.
