The KX1 manual suggests it uses 300-700 mA on transmit, depending on
voltage. Assuming you don't need to rectify (or use a ultra-low
dropout voltage regulator) it should work but may limit your power
output to less than 3W max.

Some home / small office Ethernet hubs and switches use largish
wall-warts, I have a couple with 12Vdc, 1A wall-warts.

You may need to add a low-pass filter to filter any 60 Hz interference
and harmonics, such a passive 2nd or 3rd-order RC or LC low-pass
filter.
