   • extenders have different resolutions. 4K vs 8K
   • extenders have different distances

A 1080P video signal requires a bandwidth of around 6 Gbps, while a 4K video signal requires a bandwidth of around 18 Gbps. To ensure reliable transmission of the HDMI signal, it is recommended to use a gigabit Ethernet network or higher.

• this seems too high
• From this data it seems Powerline Ethernet Adapter is too slow to stream HDMI.

HDMI KVM over IP is quite similar but is not limited to Ethernet and supports input like controller, mouse & keyboard.
