Newbie Assistance Required - RN214 Transfer from PC

Thanks for the quick reply. Yes - almost correctly. I probably wasnt clear - I have changed the last digit on my adapter settings but am using the IP generated when the NAS turned on connected to my PC. Assuming it doesnt matter what it is aslong as between 1-254 and not identical to the NAS?

Is there any way of making this work?
In theory could I buy a powerline adapter to run the pc back to the router and make the link that way?
