Powerline PL1000v2 won’t connect with each other

Hi, I was just wondering how to connect my powerlines. I have seen many forums and tried them all. I have been using the powerlines since november, and since then they have been working but recently they will not connect with each other. They will when they are right next to each other, but no other distance.

   Think, for a moment, about how little useful information that
non-description conveys to the non-psychics in your audience.

 

> [...] recently [...]

 

   What changed "recently"?

 

> [...] they will not connect with each other. [...]

 

   What _will_ they do?

 

   Visit http://netgear.com/support , put in your model number, and look
for Documentation.  Get the User Manual (at least).  Read.  Look for the
LED descriptions and "Troubleshoot".

   Into what, exactly, are they plugged?  As the User Manual says:

 

      [...] Plug one PowerLINE device into a wall outlet [...]

 

      [...] Make sure that power is supplied to the electrical outlet
      and that the PowerLINE device is not plugged into an extension
      cord, power strip, or surge protector.

 

   Hardware can fail, and interference can occur, too.
