Will the PLC solution work if the adapters are on different electrical circuits in the house?

Yes. If there is only one electricity meter for the house, then powerline adapters generally can be plugged into any of the sockets in the house.

 

What is the distance the powerline adapter can transmit?

Powerline technology provides reliable coverage for considerable distances in a home, but noises from your home electrical appliances which is introduced into your home's electrical wires is a limiting factor for the transmission distances. Thus you may get (considerably) less or more coverage depending on how many electrical appliances being used at the time your running these devices.

 

Which network device can I connect to the powerline adapter?

Do I have to rewire my home electric outlets or install special filters for using this device?
Powerline uses the existing electrical wiring to network computers in different rooms so that they can share files, printers, and Internet connections. This Powerline products use existing electrical sockets (outlets) at home. If your wiring is modern, there is no need to rewire outlets or to install special filters.
