I need a wired connection at my house from the router in the living room to the second router in my bedroom. So I was thinking of using an PoE injector kit. This would mean I'm going to be using my house's electrical circuit to establish a wired network.

The issue is that from injector to injector, there's a span of 1000 feet. However, since I am using my house's electrical circuit, do I need to worry about signal degradation? Wouldn't the signal be fine since there's a lot of power already available?
 
Solution
That is not a POE injector. A POE injector is a device that will add DC voltage to ethernet cable to power a camera or other device. You are referring to powerline network adapters. Inside a typical house the distance is not an issue. It is maybe 100 to 200 ft from an outlet to the breaker box and then to a different circuit. Bedrooms CAN cause problems for older technology powerline network adapters. If you have an arc fault interrupter (AFI) breaker (newer US construction requires them), they can degrade the performance of powerline network adapters. The newest standard hardware, known as AV2 MIMO will have the fewest problems with any household wiring.
