Ethernet over Power is hit or miss. There are SEVERAL factors that affect your performance and they impact them HARD.
1.) Are both devices on the same circuit? Crossing a circuit breaker can really kill your signal.
2.) What type of wiring does your house use? Back in the day they used to use aluminum in electrical wires (and supposedly new houses are using tin) -- the concept is to reduce costs due to copper costs... but the impact is worse ethernet over power (and a slight corrosion on your outlets over a decade or two).
Also, a N or AC wireless connection will almost always provide faster speeds; however, both WiFi and ethernet or power suffer from packet loss.
