Somebody should make this... (WiFi+data over power)

Does anyone make a WiFi AP that has PNP data-over-power on the uplink
side instead of/in addition to Ethernet?

It would be neat to be able to plug an AP anywhere there was a power
receptacle, and even move it around the house as needed.

That's an accurate description of a HomePlug to wireless bridge or
access point. See:
