Can I connect Powerline Ethernet into my Nighthawk?

Not sure if I am able to explain my query as I am very tech limited but here goes.
I have a Netgear WiFi Booster Range Extender AC3000 (EX8000). I have bought a Powerline WiFi Adaptor Extender/Booster and was wondering can I run a signal from the router, through the powerline and then connect my Nighthawk extender to that powerline via ethernet and then send the wifi signal (and/or ethernet) out from the Nighthawk?
So it would be Router to Powerline "transmitter" via ethernet cable (happens to be in spare bedroom) - signal runs through powerline to a socket with a powerline plug in kitchen - then Nighthawk to recieve signal via an ethernet cable from the powerline plug in kitchen - wifi and ethernet signal out of Nighthawk.
Hopefully that makes sense.

yes you can connect an extender to the router using powerline. You'd just need to re-run setup on the extender and set it up in access point mode.

plemans, can I use any of the 4 ethernet ports on the Nighthawk or is there one that "receives" and the other 3 transmit? Sorry if that is a stupid question.
