Two old comments from Brian at Roon:

For whatever reason gigabit-> 100megabit transitions in switches are tricky with UDP. Lots of ways for packets to end up on the floor it seems and some switches better than others
In other words, you need to connect everything into a switch (either the same switch or two "good" switches connected to each other via Ethernet) that you know works. This affects both playback and discovery. Frankly, plugging into a router, which is doing a lot more than a switch, may be asking for trouble with Meridian Sooloos gear.

UDP protocols over powerlines are notorious for badness
In other words, not recommended. And no guarantee whatsoever that your new powerline gear will work if your old powerline gear does.
