Do you have RG6 coax in the walls?
If you do, you could use MoCA-compliant extender gear. It's a lot more
relaible than powerline stuff.
Some time ago I picked up several Actiontec WCB3000N units; they will
bridge ethernet to coax, and provide a dual-band wifi hotspot.
(You can still get 'em for $24/ea on Amazon. They are MoCA 1.1 devices,
therefore limited to about ~175Mbps real-world throughput on the wired
side, and single-stream 802.11N on the wifi side. Newer units are more
capable, but more expensive)
