BT Vision Powerline Adapters

Options
With reference to today's MSE post on "Boost Broadband Speed", should the Simpler Networks Mini Passthrough adapters (200Mbps) work for extending my Wi-Fi from a ground floor (BT)router to a first floor pc? They were provided along with a BT Vision + Box originally, I now use Freesat, but hoped these would help boost Wi-Fi to upstairs? I have two adapters.
