It all depends on the powerlines in your house.

 

They may be connected to different powerlines, try connecting them to closer rooms if possible. If not, they may not work for you..

I tried moving outlets and that didn't work... The link light is not lighting up.

No it only came with a manual that I stupidly threw away with the box so now even if it doesn't work... I can't return it

You have to pair the power lines by pressing certain buttons.

Also most houses only have 1 power circuit since its cheaper that way.

How do I do that?

For my powerline, specifically tplink one has a button.

You hold the button on the powerline closest to the router, then run to the other and holding down that. For a hold of 3 seconds.

During this time, the one closest to the router MUST PLUG In via rj45.

Depending on your powerline type, even if both ends is wireless you need the cable.
