What sort of PoE adapters was your friend using? PoE adapters should add minimal latency as they just use a center tapped ethernet transformer to separate the DC power from the AC ethernet signal.

He's talking about Powerline networking, not PoE.

Powerline networks (Powerline AV and g.hn) send ethernet through the electrical wiring.

Of course! I'm so used to PoE that power line networking didn't cross my mind. Thanks for the correction.
