The second light from the left comes on tan but goes on and off. and I cant connect with my tablet. Ever though it shows the netword and the signal is excelent.
I have the manual that came with it. If there is something different that you were sending me to then , I get "no such page" I have to think that my wired system won't let wifi go through my wiring sucessfuly for some reason. Which kind of makes my purchase quite a waste of money.
I have to think that my wired system won't let wifi go through my wiring successfully for some reason.
I have no idea what that means. The wired system does not "let wifi go through" it.
It lets the two plugs work as wired LAN devices. Then the remote plug connects to the router's plug and has a wifi access point that spits out its own wifi signal.
The wifi bit will not work if the wired bit fails. So sort that out first and then set up the wifi.
I'm afraid I don't understand your first message. YOu say:
The second light from the left comes on tan but goes on and off. and I cant connect with my tablet.
For a start, what does "comes on tan" mean? Amber?
If I am right and that is the pick-a-plug light the colour will indicate the quality of the connection over the mains. Look at the manual to work out what is going on. Amber is OK but not great. Green is best.
I assume that you are trying to connect your tablet with wifi.
Set the plugs up in the same room, then move the wifi one to where you want it. The plug will remember its settings.
Don't give up. These things are notoriously difficult to set up.
We have to start understanding how these things work. You will not get wifi to work over powerline until you get wired LAN to work over powerline.
I have explained how to do that. If you cannot manage that process, then you would do better to return your plugs and buy something that is simpler to set up.
You might want to think about its name "powerline" I really don't know how we can go anywhere with this because it's the house wiring that seems to be the problem.
One way to connect a network-capable home theater component to your router is by using powerline adapters. A powerline adapter is an alternative to running in-wall Ethernet cables or relying on possible unstable WiFi. A powerline adapter has the ability to send your music, photo, video, and computer data over your household's existing electrical wiring just like it would over Ethernet cables.
A network-enabled home theater component or other network device connects to a powerline adapter using an ethernet cable. The powerline adapter is plugged into a wall electrical outlet. Once plugged in, you can use the powerline adapter to send and/or receive media files and data over your home's electrical to a second powerline adapter plugged in another location. To do this a second powerline adapter is plugged into a wall electrical outlet near the location of your router. It is connected to your router using an Ethernet cable.

I agree with all that, which you seem to have lifted from a Netgear website. The question is, do you understand what you have copied?
If so why did you bang on about "wifi over powerline". The idea that:
a powerline runs the wifi through your electrical system
Is nonsense. The wifi does not run through your electrical system. The wired LAN does that. Get the powerline to work, then worry about the wifi bit.
Did you get that far?
I don't think we can take this much further until you give a clearer details of what you are doing and where it goes wrong. Your description of how powerline works does not tie up with your explanation of what you are doing.
