they don't work here
I've tried them - I think they want the circuits to be on the same ring main and we appear to have three (!?) in our house. Old victorian house and shitty wiring that's been patched and patched due to change of use with conversions and extensions etc.
No luck with the relay booster stuff whatever that's called either. Well it'll work for about 1hr then need one or both boxes rebooting.
Really the only solid way is run a cable and the last time I got a quote from an electrician to do it all tidy etc he wanted £500 so I thought fuck it - I don't need internet that badly in that room. For films I just stick stuff on a USB stick.

the cost isn't so much the cable
it's the "do it all tidy" i.e. drilling holes in ceiling, trailing it under floorboards, pinning it to edges of walls, repainting

Just stick it under the carpet.
If the wife complains, tell her it's subsidence.
