Thanks for your time

The XE104 is first generation powerline. It is 13 years old and does not follow the more recent AV standard.

As you have changed your network, it might be worth setting things up from scratch.
There is a manual for the XE104 somewhere at the end of this link:

To be honest, these things are so slow (85Mbps) that it might be easier to buy a pair of "500s", or even the newer faster "1000s", rather than playing around with these. You can even get plugs that come with an integral wifi access point.
