powerline adapter v extender
I"m moving to a larger house and dont know if it's better to get a powerline adapter and attach a router to it (does that work) or to get an extender. Thoughts?

You didn't exactly give us much to go off.
How big is the home you're moving to?
What are the interior walls made? (certain materials block wifi better than others)
How old is the home? (older wiring can have issues with powerline)
What are your goals? Are you trying to provide more coverage? trying to just centrally locate the router?
What exactly is going on so you are attempting this.
