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?

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.

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!
