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)
