Hello, I have two pairs of powerline adapters at home, a total of 4. One is at my router, the other at my brother's PC, another is plugged into a wall socket in my room, and on that same socket, I plugged in my power strip for my PC, my consoles, my monitor... The last adapter, I plugged into the power strip which is itself plugged into the other powerline adapter. The problem is that the indicator light showing that the fourth powerline adapter is connected to the router does not light up. However, this adapter works fine when I plug it into a wall socket.
I wanted to know if it's interference caused by the powerline adapter that's plugged into the wall, and the powerline adapter from the router cannot detect the powerline adapter on the power strip because the adapter plugged into the wall causes interference? That's what I think. Basically, it's like plugging a powerline adapter into a wall, and then plugging another one onto it. The powerline adapter plugged onto it cannot be detected by the adapter from the router.

Hello,
Plugging one powerline adapter into another is not a proper way to proceed. Try both powerline adapters on the power strip, with the power strip plugged into the wall. But anyway, having a powerline adapter behind a power strip is not good.
The solution in your case is to connect an Ethernet switch to the powerline adapter plugged into the wall socket, which will allow you to connect multiple devices to it. Alternatively, but you should consider this before buying the powerline adapters, there are powerline adapter units with 2 or 3 RJ45 sockets.

Also,
"2 pairs of powerline adapters "
These aren’t two pairs, I suppose all the powerline adapters are paired on the same network, that there is only one on the box side, because two powerline networks on the same electrical installation will interfere with each other and create frequency conflicts.

and ... There you go!

Absolutely, it's an Ethernet switch that is needed (a 100 Mbit/s is enough if you want to stay behind a powerline modem, but gigabit is preferable since it can be reused elsewhere).
