My use of powerline networking was mostly good, although at times it was 
a bit flaky.  I was using some adapters made by Sling Media that I 
bought several years ago, and I doubt if that specific model is still 
available.

Another option that you may want to look into is MoCA (multimedia over 
coax) to use the coax cables which you may have in the walls for cable 
TV.  This can be used even if those cables are being used for TV and/or 
internet access.  I was originally using adapters from Netgear, but all 
of those have died on me.  I'm now using some Actiontec adapters that I 
got from off of Tivo.com, which seems to have the best prices on those.  
The MoCA adapters have given me better performance and reliability (even 
with units dying) than either powerline or WiFi.
