   @steph @mia powerline sucks, mesh is worse
   if interference from the neighbors is a problem, the first thing to check is that you are using 5ghz which is going to be much quieter (owing to poor wall penetration)
   
   then proper wired backbone is crucial, first of all I'd verify that the powerline setup is actually the problem by testing it with wired devices on either end
   obviously proper ethernet cabling is going to be the best but you have other options
   if you own the powerline adapters, and the house has unused telephone wiring, a neat hack is to mod the devices to disconnect the transceivers from mains, and just run the data lines over the phone wiring (see for example https://www.instructables.com/Ethernet-Over-Telephone-Lines-or-Whatever-Cable/); that should give much better results than the noisy mains wiring
   alternatively if you have unused coaxial cables (for satellite or cable TV), there are also adapters that can make use of that, the cheapest option being a set from directv which should give you about 60-70Mbps half duplex, or fancier ones that can go faster
