Hard to say, I have a 600Mbps rated netgear powerline adapter, and can get close to 400Mbps with a distance of around 30 ft, though only if the right outlets are used.

They are sensitive to which side of the circuit breaker panel you are connected to.

I currently use my R7800 and 1 wired AP since I was able to run Ethernet where I needed, but if I could not run Ethernet where needed, I would properly use powerline to connect the AP, though it would not be ideal.

Since I do backups to my NAS (2 desktop PCs, 2 laptops, and 2 smartphoness) is sucks too have a backup go at like 25-30MB/s when a wired device will backup at over 100MB/s

even saturating a gigabit connection, it is painfully slow, and networking companies are still price gouging on 10GbE.

i use the 2Gb/s powerline.
I use 2nd hand SFP+ NICs with a cheap SFP+ switch (mikrotik) and SFP+ direct. Thats how to get 10Gb/s cheap. The other way is to get boards with 10Gbe.
