Can you attach a powerline adapter to the satellite?
So, as some of you may know, the xbox one x has connectivity issues with the internet. This really sucks when you pay $500 for a "top of the line system" and it will disconnect you at any moment.
Looking through forums, it sounds like the best fix is to use a wired connection, however, that's not possible in my case. I'm in a mother-in-law suite with the main orbi router and satellite in the main house. Note, I didn't have wifi problems before, and all devices but the xbox can connect without a problem.
Is it possible to connect a powerline adapter to the satellite, which is closest to me, and connect it to another adapter in the mother-in-law suite?

To answer your question directly. Yes you can definitely connect Powerline Adapters as you describe. If you buy them ensure you get teh pass-through type i.e. with a plug socket built-in. I say this as they are far better at filtering mains noise - I learnt this the long and hard way!
Powerline would be my third choice. First would be to put a satellite in the MIL suite if the distances allow. Second would be MOCA adapters if you’re wired for cable TV.
