Thinking of Powerline for networking

Hey, I wasn't sure where to put this. Hopefully the mods will move it to the right place if it isn't here.


I am now renting a room, and the house only has Internet downstairs.

W--Fi is the obvious way to go but the room is in back of the house up stairs and long way from the router so Wi-Fi might not have the range and speed.

I found the 2 Powerline adapters for $50, which is less than a good 11n router.

Looks like Powerline offers stability and speed in my situation.

Are there any other advantages of Powerline? Is it safe?

Do you live in an old house? If you house has old crappy cabling it may be a bad idea, but other than that i can't say since i don't have any experience with them.
