PLW1000v2 as a Wifi bridge

Hello, does anyone know if you can use the PLW1000v2 as a Wifi bridge from the router to connect to a remote Powerline network. The router is not on the same electrical circuit. Thanks for any input.

Model: PLW1000|PowerLINE 1000 Wireless adapter

It doesn't have that capability that I know of. 

A simple wifi extender would be able to do so and then connect the powerline setup to it.

What are you actually attempting? It wasn't very clear.

are you attempting to connect the wireless portion of th plw1000 to the router over wireless?

I am trying to make a Powerline network on an electrical circuit different from the circuit the router is on, hopefully using the Wifi on the PLW1000 to connect to the Wifi on the router. Thanks for any info.
