Power line adapters..

Howdy!
My bedroom is an awkward shape and size. I’ve had a refig and rather than throw out my tv from my previous abode , ive decided to keep it . I also have a spare Apple TV which would go well with it.
Thought I’d lost Apple TV when stuff was up in storage so I got another. I found a couple of powerline adapters which I used when the signal from Bt broadband was not good.

Rather than buy an extra long lan cable and Ethernet cable it looks like a powerline adapter would be easier .
I’m just wondering if a) the powerline adapter eats much electricity
B) do I have to have it plugged in all the time ,as I won’t be watching that much in bed tbh.

Your thoughts

Thanks

    Might be a label on them, but I think mine use 2 watts each, so literally peanuts to run

    which I used when the signal from Bt broadband was not good.

    Do you have better wifi now? If so then that might be an option if the signal strong enough in the bedroom.
  • Thanks folks.

    I didn’t think of that. I’ll mullet over.

    You don't have to leave it on, you can turn it off when you're not using it. But they don't use much power
