Correct. No AFCIs on the circuits involved with PLA "A" or the PLA I am testing at "C." I don't know about the type of breaker through which power arrives at "B," but that's the best performing AP by far so the point is moot.
I think the Ethernet cable test you suggest could tell me the electrical wiring in my old house is not particularly attractive to PLAs in some spots. This is already what I suspect rather than believing there is anything wrong with the PLAs I am using. Unfortunately, as I've mentioned, there's little I can do about the locations, geometry, or house electrical wiring. It is what it is.
When I think internet traffic is back to "normal," I'm going to do some more speed testing at the modem and router to insure the ISP is delivering the bandwidth I am paying for. As far as improving the performance of my PC, it does not appear that it will be achieved through a PLA/Direct Ethernet connection or MERLIN Firmware.
I discovered another Securifi ALMOND in my stash yesterday, so I may try another AP in a bedroom just down the hall from my office. Perhaps that bedroom will have the uncluttered circuitry that makes the operation at B the best in the house.
