I have not used powerline adaptors, but it has always been my understanding that they work best on the same circuit (breaker) but at least need to be on the same phase leg to work reliably or at all. Here in the US/Northeast, power comes into our homes 240VAC - two hot "phases" (A,B or odd/even) and a neutral (and a ground of course). You obtain 240v between A+B, you have two "phases" of 120vac each between A + neutral and B + neutral. In your panel (typically) one phase is the left side row (A or odd number breakers), the other on the right (B or even number breakers). So (again only my understanding, never tried) both the tx and rx of the adaptors need to both be on breakers of even or odd number, and work best (?) if they are on the same breaker, which allot of the time is not practical (allot of the time one breaker feeds an area/room. If you are curious, maybe you could check this and try moving one or the other, at least as a test.
