Also I just moved my whole setup to the router and tried to connect it straight up from the router (no power line adapter) and it still said no connections detected or whatever it says. Is it a problem with my motherboard, windows or my router?

Well that's your problem... Use another computer to get the drivers from your mobo manufacturer's website and put it on a usb drive.
