Here is how we currently have our powerlines set up. We have a modem from Comcast with a Frys brand N router hooked into the modem. Next we have a base powerline XAV2501 plugged into the wall and the ...
This will be down to an IP conflict issue - when you plug the wireless router in, by default most will give out a 192.168.1.x address out of their LAN port. In the scenario you described this means that the router near the internet connection is giving out 192.168.1.x addresses , and then the new router you plug in will give out similar addresses (but neither will have knowledge of the other).
My best advice would be to either
1) Buy a wireless extender / AP instead of a router at your 'iPad' / client end
or
2) Connect to the router you are using at the iPad / client and and make the following changes;
-Under the LAN interface, disable any DHCP Server (so it won't give out addresses)
-Connect the cable from the Powerline into the Ethernet ports on the router (NOT the internet/WAN port)
If you do this then all of the IP addresses will come from the router near the internet connection, and locally you'll just be serving wireless
