Sorry, you are quite right, I meant a POWERLINE Ethernet adaptor.

Cat 5 Patch Cable from that into TP-Link 500Mbps Powerline adaptor.

Another TP-Link 500Mbps Powerline adaptor with a Cat 5 patch lead from that into the Ethernet port on the EX6100. The EX6100 has the manual switch set to ACCESS POINT and I can log into the access point via WiFi to configure same however it won't detect the Internet.
The lights on the two Powerline adaptors are showing that they are talking to one another over the power cabling.
Any ideas?
