John,

I have only tried Ethernet over power line once & it didn’t work. It was about 10 years ago, so I’m sure things are better now so it’s worth a try. One thing to watch is to be sure that the two modules are plugged into the same line. If one is on L1 & the other on L2 it probably won’t work. Try it & if it doesn’t work, move one unit to the opposite line. Both also have to be on the same transformer on the pole. 

I’ve had good luck with non line of site through trees & underbrush by using 900mhz radios. I had one installation where the radios were about 1/4 mile apart with a lake & solid growth in between. Worked fine with directional antennas. 

Ethernet is spec’ed for up to 300 meters so cable should work but if you get much lightning in your area I wouldn’t use it, I’d go with fiber. 

Peace,
Pat

I'm trying to get some 'reliable' internet service to my unattached shop building... just a shade too far for cable access  (just under 300 feet of cable) and too many obstacles for wireless
\even with an extender... looking at powerline units...  two boxes...modem plugs into one and it plugs into 120 v plug...other box plugs into any other plug on same
breaker box and the laptop plugs into it with cat-5-cable..  
 
anyone have any experienced with this type service ??
