I have setup wifi in a school with currently around 15 access points and
there is no problem roaming around.  They are all consumer routers
reflashed with openwrt.


That falls outside what I would call "consumer". The software is what
mainly matters here.


I haven't had any issues with stock routers either as long as they are 
configured correctly and connected using the LAN ports.

  It strikes me that there's a call for some sort of
bridging adaptor where a device plugs into all phases and cross-
connects them with a high pass filter (for RF).

And there were other things mentioned that block signals:  A UPS
between the mains and a WiFi over powerline device, surge arrestors and
mains filters.

.
I recall, from perhaps thirty years ago, that there were devices to 
couple control signals between the two sides of the main power circuit, 
consumer remote control of lights, etc. I able to made do without such 
things though.


As for what the result will be when I plug in those two ethernet 
adapters I wont try to predict, there are too many variables. It looks a 
bit like trying to predict the weather, if thus and so is true then 
there is a chance the sun will/will not shine ...


I'm just hoping I will find two outlets on the same circuit, the best case.

Some equipment mysteriously stops working at attic temperatures here, I 
had a lot of problems with some video cameras in such a location, had to 
cut vent holes in the case and add a fan after which they worked for years.
