I have three TP Link powerline adapters model number TL-PA8010P this morning I noticed that the middle led was not lit.There are two adapters upstairs in two rooms.I unplugged the two adapters and took them downstairs and plugged them into adjoining sockets pressed the pair button on the first unit for 1 sec waited 120 seconds then pressed the pair button on the other unit for 1 sec then put them back where they were before and all three lights were on for about ten minutes then the middle one went out.Did this four times same result.Have just noticed the the middle LED on the unit connected to the router was not lit.Can someone tell me the correct procedure to get them paired again

You don't have to wait for 2 minutes. The 2 minutes is the maximum time you're supposed to wait before pressing the button.
The instructions are on their website https://www.tp-link.com/us/user-guides/tl-pa8010pkit_v3/chapter-2-powerline-networks#ug-sub-title-3
I have followed the link you sent and am just trying to pair two adapters first and will do the third when the other two are working.I plugged the first unit into a mains socket near the router and connected it to the router using a Ethernet cable I then plugged the 2nd unit in where I want it and it is connected to the laptop with a Ethernet cable but the middle LED does not turn on on either unit.I thought you had to press the pair buttons to pair the units but maybe wrong
