Yeah, but I haven't quite given up on them, might still use them for 2nd floor.
They reach from the center of the house to the outer rooms,
but not from one outer room to another.  They're also sensitive
to which outlet you plug them into; in some outlets, they're flaky,
in others, they're solid.

The ones I have are the Netgear AV500's:

I bought them for $100 or so on sale at Office Depot or something like
that, had to drive a ways to get them.
(They're slightly obsolete now.)
