sorry, answered swiftly. I am very sure this is not the goal, as my adapter has no software whatsoever. as for seeing everyone's devices, I certainly cannot do this using my tools. I have asked my landlord if he can see me, and he knows not where to look. On Fri, 14 Apr 2023, D. Hugh Redelmeier via talk wrote:

What are these two adapters? It is hard to help without knowing.
My *guess* is that they are powerline ethernet adapters. Here's an example: <https://www.thesource.ca/en-ca/computers-tablets/networking/range-extenders-powerline/d-link-dhp-601av-re-powerline-av2-1000-gigabit-starter-kit---refurbished/p/108080701> (These happen to be refurbished.)
If this is what you are using, beware that you are on the same LAN as your landlord. That means that each of you can "see" all of the devices on the LAN. For privacy, each of you might want be on separate LANs.
