Hello! I have a pair of Powerline Ethernet Over Power plugs I bought in 2014. They still work great. But in our new house, some power outlets get an internet connection and some don’t. I don’t know h...
Problem with powerline devices is interference. Many things can cause interference.
These include:
Gfci outlets
surge protectors
Arc fault breakers (required more often these days)
distance (they might be right next to each other but on totally different circuits, adding distance)
different circuits. Crossing circuits decreases speeds greatly
Old/bad/poorly done wiring
electronics that are going bad or cheaply made can inject interference
so if they're working when they're on the same circuit, it isn't the powerline devices. It could be something either injecting interference or one of the other things that are causing interference.

You’ve given me a lot to think about and to look into. I’m sure the solution is there somewhere. Thank you very much for your time!
