MyBook Live - plugged into powerline adaptor rather than router?

WD Legacy Products My Book Live

Hi

I’ve relocated my My Book Live and rather than have it plugged directly into my router, it’s plugged into the network port of a powerline adaptor.

I was hoping that I’d still be able to connect to the device from my laptop, but I can’t.

Is it possible to get such a config up and running OR can the device only work if plugged directly into the router?

It shouldn’t matter.

If you plug some other type of device on the Powerline network, does it work correctly?

In other words, is it only your MBL that doesn’t work via Powerline?
