PLP2000 Pick A Plug goes amber when adding the 5th unit

Hello community. I have acquired the 5th and 6th PLP2000 Powerline trying to extend my network.

When I add the fifth device and I join the secured network as described in the instructions, all my devices pick a plug turn into red (no amber).

I tried to reset all from fabric and recreate the network, but no matter how I join, the pick a plug turns red at the fifth.

Removing the fifth doesn't revert all the others into green, so I assume there is not a bandwidth problem.

 

Any thoughts?

 

Also I have seen there is a password in the back of every device. Is it possible to manually configure? How do you access that device mgmt interface? Ethernet? which IP address?

Have you tried removing one of the other plugs from the network while you add the 5th plug?

 

What about plug 6?

 

I have seen earlier conversations suggesting that Powerline falls over with six plugs.
