powerline adapter stopped working
I have 1 netgear powerline adapter + 2 plug in wifi extenders. While both extenders worked when I first set them up, neither is working now. Each time one failed I just unplugged it and ignored it ...

Troubleshooting with powerline devices is a bit challenging. Reason why is so many different devices can create interference. Or even a device going bad can add interference to powerline.
best bet?
Plug the powerline devices in on the same circuit. It might still have interference but if you can get them to connect on the same circuit, it usually the powerline device itself.
go to netgear.com/support/ type in your model number and it'll take you to the support site with guides and manuals on reconnecting them.
