You can swap the power supply for a PWR-LINE: https://mikrotik.com/products/group/dat ... powerlines
You would then need a compatible MikroTik at the other end to attach your SMB to, MAP for example has a USB port for SMB.

But the question I pose when reading this: performance ?

10/100 Ethernet ports so it's going to be slow, but technically PWR-LINE is USB to Ethernet, just really expensive as you require 2 of them and another Tik at the other end.
The OP may be better off with a mAP-2nd and a switch or a hAP ac Lite
