You don't say what speed of powerline adapter you're using - 85MBps or 
200Mbps?

In our experience the IP-over-power option tends to give better 
performance than wireless, so if you're looking to replace the powerline 
kit with the wireless I'd be nervous.

Note: My company sells powerline/homeplug type products so I may be 
biased, but based on customer feedback the above is true.
