You can also buy devices you plug into the wall and route your network through your power network. Used them to give my detached garage wifi. Works pretty well.

    Based on my research, you get the speed of 2.4 ghz wireless (which while it works, it could be better) with the inconvenience of having to use a cable. Performance also depends on wire insulation, which often isn't built for running PLC. However, you can't beat the "plug-and-play" of wired there, which might be attractive.

    I'd recommend getting a mesh router setup, gives you 5ghz wireless over the whole house (assuming proper setup), and some mesh points support wired output (effectively having a wireless bridge)
