Using TP-Link TL-WPA4220KIT in reverse

Hardware Version : Not Clear
Firmware Version :
ISP :
Is it possible to use the kit mentioned as a way to receieve a wireless signal from the router and pass that through via the powerline adapter to a wired client?
The information I've found so far only shows wired connection from the router and then a wireless connection to the clients.

The router and powerline device should be connected by cable.
It seems that you didn't realize that we can also connect to WPA4220 by wire to access internet.

I have it set up by wire right now. I'll explain my situation in more detail.
I have two clients in a different building than the internet router that requires internet access.
I could not get any signal at all using only 2 units, one client side and one router side. I did however get a signal between building 2 and 3, and building 1 and 2.
I tried plugging two additional units into a dual socket in building 2 and linking them with an ethernet cable and voila, I got signal the whole way.
The problem is I can't get a signal to a wall socket near the router, the way everything is set up now is very temporary and I would like to get rid of the cable between the router and unit 1.
There are no walls between the location of unit 1 and the router, so a wireless solution should be fine, if there is one available.

It looks like the TL-WPA4220 unit doesn't have the bridge function that converts wireless to wired. I think the best thing to do is get a WiFi range extender that has an ethernet port such as the TL-WA750RE or use a router in bridge mode.
