I can't say for sure but I believe it has something to do with the laptop being connected to the houses circuit that the powerline adapter is plugged into, if you have a large battery bank or a plug separate from the circuit used for the adapter it should fix your issues.

If that doesnt work would you recommend me getting a router/wifi extender?
