Hello ianw314
Does your powerline base share the same wall that is powering your appliances like your refrigerator or washing machine? That can cause to much noise on the powerline for it to work you would have to move the powerline adapter to a different wall. Also have you tried to test the unit in a different room to see if you can get it to work just for testing?
