For PoE you want two networks for the best performance. One for each phase of your mains.

In general they do suck, but they can be pretty decent if you stick them all on one phase, even better if all on the same breaker.

Powerline Ethernet != PoE (power over Ethernet)

Yes, no idea what I was thinking when I typed that. I've used both extensively, in fact this message was sent over a PoE enabled WiFi AP.

For maximum comedy, I'm imagining running powerline ethernet to supply a network drop to a PoE switch, which then powers the AP.
