If you have the poweline link between 2 adapters &nbsp;the wireless part at the remote adapter will just be a you traditional access point; you won't need to connect it wirelessly to the router as the adapter closest to the router would connect to it via wire instead.

The remote adapter isn't the one close to the gateway router; I was referring to the one with the AP, furthest from the router.<br />
<br />
There's no point putting the unit with the AP close to the router, so my comment explains exactly how it works.

Just trying to work some problems out from first principles as i'm unclear as to whether there's a problem at the router or whether the problem is at the above-named wireless powerline adapter.<br />
The goal is to set up the adapter as a wireless extender but setting the adapter up to get the connection from the router via WPS didn't work, so i decided to try to ensure that wired (powerline) was working first, it being more configurable and transparent. This is what the manual says about the LAN:<br />

Use DHCP is checked as default. But the address in the box is actually the public address of the router. Does this suggest that DHCP has failed?

Networking hardware includes the physical devices facilitating the use of a computer network. Typically, networking hardware includes gateways, routers, network bridges, modems, wireless access points, networking cables, line drivers, switches, hubs, and repeaters. But it also includes hybrid network devices such as multilayer switches, protocol converters, bridge routers, proxy servers, firewalls, network address translators, multiplexers, network interface controllers, wireless network interface controllers, ISDN terminal adapters and other related hardware.

Networking Hardware-Other

Networking is the process of connecting computing devices, peripherals and terminals together through a system that uses wiring, cabling or radio waves that enable their users to communicate, share information and interact over distances. Often associated are issues regarding operating systems, hardware and equipment, cloud and virtual networking, protocols, architecture, storage and management.

Networking

A router is a networking device that forwards data packets between computer networks. Routers perform the "traffic directing" functions on the Internet. The most familiar type of routers are home and small office cable or DSL routers that simply pass data, such as web pages, email, IM, and videos between computers and the Internet. More sophisticated routers, such as enterprise routers, connect large business or ISP networks up to the powerful core routers that forward data at high speed along the optical fiber lines of the Internet backbone. Though routers are typically dedicated hardware devices, use of software-based routers has grown increasingly common.
