Older wiring definitely affects speeds, but the powerline ethernet technology has advanced a LOT since 3 years ago.
Check out the D-Link DHP-701AV kit (
at memory express). It advertises at 2000Mbps which of course you'll never get in real-world speed, but I've got 35-year old wiring and it's much faster than I was able to get over just WiFi (150+Mb/s)
