Connect your Plusnet router box to a Powerline adapter
Plug the other Powerline adapter into a spare socket that's close to your Plusnet router.
Connect the other Ethernet cable to one of the Ethernet sockets on the back of your Plusnet router (don't use ETH 4 as this is required for your broadband connection) and connect the other end to the Ethernet socket on the top of the second powerline adapter.
Switch the second powerline adapter on at the wall. The Power and Ethernet lights should turn green and the Data light will turn red, orange or green, depending on the quality of the connection between the two powerline adapters.

That's it
Your set top box should now be connected to your router via the powerline adapters.
