Ethernet powerline adapter - seems to be all good, but no internet

I connected a powerline adapter to my router, plugged the second one into my Mac (Mojave).

It seems to be giving all the right answers, but no internet is coming through. What am I doing wrong?

ethernet speeds Running a 2012 Mac Pro, on wireless, I get the internet service speeds of 40-50 MBPS down, 15-20 up. The signal is weak though owing to two heavy brick walls between router and computer and I get my voice and image dropping out or freezing during group Zoom conferences.. So I got 500 MBPS powerline adapters, and plugged into ethernet, thinking I'd get a stronger and more consistent signal. But speeds dropped to 20 down and 18 up. The computer has gigabit ethernet, so there should have been no drop in speed. The powerline adapters are plugged into the wall in each room, no other equipment interfering. Anyone else encountered this?

Imac will not connect to 5G band but will to 2,4 G wifi After years of stable wifi connections, my IMac has stopped connecting to the 5GB wifi band but has no trouble connecting to the 2.4 GB band. The 5GB band works fine with all my other stuff (TV, Iphone, Ipad, I Watch). The hub seems to be working OK and I am beginning to suspect that the issue is IMac related. My Imac is a Mid 2011 model so is still using OSX 10.13. Am I right? Do I need to install an ethernet link? If so could I use a powerline as the router is downstairs and IMac upstairs. Any help gratefully received.
