And, I think with powerline aren't you effectively setting up and old style "shared cable" ethernet rather than the modern style switch and device star network where each cable has a single transmitter/receiver on each end. On this basis I'd expect that if you tried to use powerline for eerything you'd start to lose bandwidth due to collisions and the powerline transceivers havng to back off and retransmitPowerlines suck. They are a band-aid solution for small scale 'cabled' wiring of devices in places where you cannot or cannot be bothered to run cable.
They are not a replacement for or anywhere even near as good as cable.
