they make a flat ethernet cable on monoprice that can be hidden pretty easily.
I've used that before.
Or even relocating the modem could be an option. Many houses are wired for coax

the problem with powerline is how many different things can impact its speeds.
If you're crossing circuits, those speeds are actually pretty good.
I'd highly recommend reading a few tests/reviews on powerline devices

Thanks for the advice... However, I will be abandoning this particular solution, unfortunately. I was looking to the Powerline units just as a convenient way to ethernet connect to my modem. I'll will now just take the time to "hide" the ethernet cables and direct connect.
