Powerline 1200 killing WiFi

Okay so i went to plug in the PL1200 adapter that im going to be using since the router is not in a secured room for my new work from home job i will be doing. As i plugged it in all the lights came on and everything said it was good to go like it should be but the wifi from the router completely died and nothing that was on wifi before i plugged it in was connected. What did i do wrong or what is wrong with the connection that it would do something like that????

That's not right.

 

When did the wifi die? When you plugged the Powerline plug into a mains socket near to the router? Or when you connected the LAN link from the plug into the router?

 

You say the wifi died, was that as seen on wifi devices or did the wifi lights on the router go off?

 

What's the router here?
