Dumb question, but I simply cannot find the answer anywhere!

I currently have two powerline adapters running between my PC and the router (TP-Link AV200's from OcUK). Unfortunately, son has now had to steal one of them for his Xbox360 as streaming from Media Centre was too hit and miss for the wireless. The router is a WRT610N, if that info is needed.

Can I simply add a third TP-Link AV200 and have one at the router, one at the PC, and one at the Xbox? Or would I need two at the router end (one per connection) so the router sees 2 connections and assigns 2 IP addresses?

Thanks.
 
Think you just need one. As long as one is at the router, you can as many as you want elsewhere. My understanding anyway!
 
Thanks guys, sorry for the delay in getting back to this thread.

For anyone else wondering the same thing and finding this thread - I have now plugged all 3 in (one at Router, one at Xbox and one at PC) and it is working perfectly. :)
