Range doesn't extend to my new garden office, only 30 metres.
Region : UK

I have 4 Powerline AV200 units (bought as 2 kits). One sits under my desk and picks up the network from a switch on my desk. One is in the room next door and delivers the network/internet to our TV/Youview box. Another sits in the kitchen and delivers the network/internet to a Denon music system - used for internet radio and for playing music stored on a NAS device. Any of the 4 adapters can be used in any of those locations and they all work fine.
The 4th unit is supposed to be delivering network/internet to ,my new garden office at the bottom of the garden - about 30 metres away. The electricity supply to the office is a spur from the kitchen (which has a unit working perfectly). The power does go through a junction box which contains an RCD but that is only there for a branch that supplies pump etc for my pond, the power to the office does not pass through the RCD. When I turn it on all the lights flash - then they all come on - then the middle one (the Poweline LED) goes off.
Does it seem possible that I have gone beyond the working range of this kit? Is there anything I can do to improve things? Or is there another piece of kit that will work?.
