I don't use WIFI and I don't see why anyone would. Buy one of those powerline adapters they work great I stream blueray movies (30+GB files) using one.

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.

1st bold: Can but usually does not. Ive used mine at several different places on totally different sides of the house with 0 issues. Powerline Adapters are AlMOST ALWAYS faster than WiFi. The only thing I have discovered with them is they do not like surge protectors on either one of them

 

2nd bold: That is not even partly true. Powerline adapters are almost as fast as an ethernet cable on the same circuit and only slightly behind on a different circuit. Both are faster than WiFi
