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 but now I really need to get at least one of them working.  Both are now plugged in ans both say they have not internet connectivity.     I can't find any instructions for how to connect to the adapters and troubleshoot whatever it is that might be keeping them from talking to the home network.  Any help would be appreciated.

Re: powerline adapter stopped working

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.
