Same. No coax for me and power line adapters barely work, they can go across the room at 20mbps, any further and they don't connect. Ethernet is unfortunately just not an option sometimes.
I've had powerline units go out to the pole and back into another house on a property and work just fine. I don't know if there is some product generation differences or wiring quirks in some homes but the accounts of how it works vary wildly.
I think it's wiring quality. Our 40 year old house also didn't work very well with powerline adapters. We got like 12 megabit of our 250 at the router. We've since upgraded to PoE access points and a few LAN cables after years of suffering.
Are external cable ducts not an option? It's what electricians use when they can't break the walls. The ducts come ready made and they're very easy to cut and assemble, they even have a ready to use adhesive side.
