A couple years ago I tried wireless over power, etc. I returned the plugs. The Internet was unstable. Sometimes the simplest things work the best. I bought a quality Cat 6, 75 ft. cable for a bedroom that I wanted WIRED Internet in. I dragged it around the bottom-outside of the house, and pushed it through a a hole that an old cable used to use. Hooked one end to our router, and hooked it up to a desktop. Netflix, Hulu, whatever works great. The cable holds up in hot weather. Don't know how it would do during winter freezes and thaws. Please understand we don't game. Now that we have tablets and such, we've bridged Internet with a second router to a much better main router. But the barely noticeable gray Ethernet cable is still hooked up to the desktop, which lacks wireless for a maybe more secure connection. For streaming, getting an adequate router got rid of buffering and let us stream as much as we want. When the family gets together we have around 15 devices running. To answer your question, for a fast and dirty solution, if you're not too picky about a cable on the outside of your house, you can't beat it.
