Connecting Powerline Ethernet with my Nighthawk

Greetings... I have a Netgear Wi-Fi range extender AC3000. I was wondering can I run singal from router, through the powerline and connect with my Nighhawk extender to powerline using ehternet and sending the signals of Wi-Fi out from the Nighhawk. 

Router to powerline transmitter and the Nighthawk to receive signals through ethernet cable (Wi-Fi and ethernet signals) out of Nighthawk... I have tried to explain but I am confused I hope it still makes sense.

    yes you can connect your extender to a router using powerline. Just make sure on the extender that you re-run setup and set it up in access point mode. That's the mode needed for when its hardwired to the router.
