I own two powerline adapters already (one linked to the router and another to a device) and recently added two new TP-Link adapters for additional devices. When I connect them, I can access the network for several hours or even a day, but then suddenly I lose connection and it becomes an unknown network. After restarting, it remains unidentified. I have the old router from my ISP, so I’m unsure if the issue lies with the hardware, the wiring, or the fact that both are plugged into the same outlet.

The issue seems to be related to the home wiring. It would be helpful if both adapters remain connected to the same circuit breaker. Consider testing with alternative outlets.

Thanks, it's progressing but still a bit distant from what I hoped for. It was functional for a while now, but it's stopped working entirely. It still appears as an unknown network. I've figured out the issue isn't with the adapters or cables—possibly the router is overwhelmed by too many devices.
