If your router's subnet is set to 255.255.255.0, the upper end of the DHCP range should be no higher than 192.168.0.254. It should not be set to .255 because that's a broadcast address. The misconfiguration is probably not causing this particular problem, but it would be a good idea to correct it anyway.
If I were in your position, I'd start with the basics. Remove all but the necessary pieces from the network: Leave your PC connected to the router, but unplug all the other Ethernet cables from the router's LAN ports. Plug the NAS into the router where the powerline adapter used to be. Turn everything off, including the router. Wait a minute, turn on the router, wait a minute, turn on the PC, wait a minute, turn on the NAS. Launch RAIDAR and see whether the NAS has been assigned a good IP address.
