If DHCP is assigning addresses that are already in use you must have other devices on the network. By restarting the router (DHCP) you have probably reset the routers list of what addresses are already in use, you may need to find the other device which is using the same IP address and use the renew on that one as well. That will cause it to contact the router and ask for another address which will then be chosen from the free address in the range.
It could also be that you have a static IP address on another device that is within the range of the DHCP pool of addresses.

It looks like your router is not handing out IP addresses. Try re-booting your router and then disable/enable your Ethernet port (or do an ipconfig /renew). That will force your PC to ask for a new address.

Do you have a combination modem/router from your ISP, or do you have a modem from the ISP and your own router for your home?

I have had a similar issue and it was caused by the routers DHCP service not working properly, restarting the router and renewing the DHCP lease on the computer worked for me.
I had to run ipconfig /renew from and administrator command prompt.
It could also be a damaged or lose wire since you appear to be using a wired connection.

I'm not sure what a WIFI powerline extender is, but usually the only way to get two devices using the same IP address is if you have two devices handing out IP addresses (two DHCP servers). Or one of the devices with the same address is hard-coded to an address that is within the range that a DHCP server is handing out.

I too have similar issue. LAN not connecting and even diagnosis does not resolve the issue. I have purchased USB to Ethernet adapter and tried that also did not work. Please anyone help me out for the resolution
