So I decided to move the wireless router to a more central area of the house for better signal strength. I basically extended the CAT5 cable long enough so the router could be relocated but I seem to have created a weird problem.

The problem is, my homeplugs are no longer working, in a sense that the router doesn't seem to be giving IP addresses to any devices which connect to the homeplugs.

DHCP is turned on with the router and I have also tried to manually assign IP's to devices connected but it still doesn't work.

I'm not sure why it would suddenly start doing this as all i did was run a longer CAT5 cable from the virgin media super hub(modem mode) to the router.

Does anyone have any ideas at all?

The router is a Dlink DIR615 by the way.
 
The manufacturers homeplug utility (netgear) allows me to see the other homeplugs fine. The new ethernet cable is fine as wired devices can access the net.

Also I've started having weird problems now, the router is not assigning wired devices IP addresses and they end up with weird 169.254.x.x ip's. DHCP is turned on and I've even tried flashing dd-wrt but having the same problem!
