One time I tried using these. The internet worked fine but connections to other things on my network was very intermittent. I found out that I was switching between my own router and my neighbor's. The signal was traveling out of my house and into my neighbor's over the power lines.
I do not recommend Ethernet over Power any more.

For what it's worth, you could turn on the built-in encryption within most Powerline adapters. (Usually a button labeled "Security" or similar). Then you can leak anything you want, and still be reasonably safe. http://www.downloads.netgear.com/files/GDC/PL1200/202-11566-01powerline_1200_user_manual13Jan2015.pdf http://www.downloads.netgear.com/files/GDC/PL1200/202-11566-... Wi-fi has this exact same problem, with basically the same solution.
