Hi,
I have 5 TP-Link Powerline adapters which have been working fine for about 4 years. Today, all at the same time they all disconnected, and I could not pair any of them up with each other again. I reset some, I put them in a double socket so they were right next to each other, I used the software - nothing could get any of them to pair with any other one.
Any suggestions?

More information is needed:

Which model/kit?

What about the overall network, modem, router, other computers (wired/wireless) printers, NAS, etc.

Did any network computers capture some error code or problem?

Look in Reliability History and Event Viewer.

Router: make and model? The router's logs (if available and enabled) may have captured some problem.

Any electrical problems, new network devices, network changes?

Well that was all very odd.
They are all TP-Link devices of variying speeds. I disconnected them all and took them to the office, where I tested them in a powerstrip and they all worked fine.
When I took them home, they worked fine there as well

All I can assume is that someone nearby had plugged in something causing massive interference on the mains
