Two floors in our house.
Electrics are separated by floor at switch-box/circuit breaker
One set: - downstairs Electric power points and UPstairs lights
Second set: - UPstairs Electric power points and downstairs lights

Power line transmission does not work from Router downstairs via
downstairs power point ethernet inlet from router
to an upstairs power point to an ethernet cable to second computer.

(Gave up on it some 3 years ago, after a number of experiments, to try
to improve on the then (bad[*]) WiFi downstairs to upstairs.)
So now no ethernet over power lines used.

[*] WiFi worked but occasionally failed,or lost contact, but not safely
enough to use for updating OSs or downloading 'critical files'.
