are powerlines any good the wifi in my home sucks and the only way to get a conection is to be close to my router or lan 

Please run ethernet through/around the exterior of your house.

Otherwise, get a set of powerline adapters that has good reviews for a decent price and hope for the best. You should almost always get better performance with powerline than wifi and much more consistent pings.

Sig under construction.

Powerline ethernet mainly give more reliable connections via ethernet as long as the wiring in your home isn't very old since it uses those to transmit the data.

and there shouldnt be any breakers/fuses/surge protectors in between the powerline jacks

or that can affect your speeds
