I have used the Devolo ones in a couple of different houses with no 
problems at all, even with the main one plugged into the router 
downstairs and the computers located upstairs.

I haven't tested the throughput, though it is much more reliable than 
wifi and I can easily stream a highish bitrate movie from the machine 
downstairs to a desktop or even a laptop with wifi.
