We tried a powerline telephone jack for a modem

several years ago, and it did not work very well. I don't know if the newer network devices would function any better.

We have a wireless network that works now that I got our neighbor to trade his 2.4 GHz portable phone for a 5.8 GHz model. I have a very quiet audio system that coexists with this network. My biggest sources of RF noise on the AC have been a DVR power supply and a combination microwave/convection oven that seems to have a computer inside.

A hard-wired network would not suit us, as my wife loves to carry her laptop around.

I would hazard a guess that the RF from a powerline network would be worse than any noise source I've encountered so far.
