Not connecting across two circuit breakers

Model: TL-WPA7510 KIT  
Hardware Version: V2
Firmware Version:

Our house has two circuit breaker boxes, one of which has a single circuit breaker for the garage building, located 150 feet away, that has its own breaker box. I cannot get a connection between the two buildings across these two circuit breaker boxes even though there is no such issue when connecting devices on circuits connected to the separate breaker boxes within the house itself. Is there any way to unblock this?

Hi Jim,  Yes this is by design and unfortunately a limitation of the technology in general.  Powerline adapters can work between breakers but only in the same junction box.  They will not work across junction boxes, even if its a sub-panel.
