We're mixing what the power companies tried to do sending IP over the
existing power lines to homes, and what the OP is talking about where
you plug a box into an outlet in one room, plug a box into an outlet in
another room and it all happens inside the house.
What he wants is room-to-room in his home, not 50 miles down the power
poles.
Buy the adapters from a reputable source with a good return policy.
They do work, but they very well could raise the RF noise floor.
