I'm looking at buying a pair of powerline adapters so that I can get a good wired connection from the stupidly-placed internet hole to where my gear is actually set up, instead of going wifi for everything like I currently am.
Something like this, after a quick browse just now:
https://www.umart.com.au/TP-Link-TL-PA9020P-KIT-AV2000-2-Port-Gigabit-Passthrough-Powerline-Starter-Kit_36066G.html
It's got a top-end speed rating and has two ports, so that's pretty convenient.
My router has four ports for wired connections. Say I wanted to connect more devices, I would have to buy another pair of course. But would that be possible? Would they interfere with each other, since there's already a signal being passed through the electrical cabling?
Another thing I'd like to know about, is what sort of data I can send over this device. My home internet is set up exactly like the configuration below:

The internet is delivered into my home via a coaxial cable. This is connected to the little black box, which then sends data via an ethernet cable (blue) to the router. My router then does all the internety connecty bits for the devices. The powerline adapters are obviously designed to act as a carrier for data that comes from the yellow plugs on the router.
Could I use it to carry the data for the blue cable instead? That way I could have the black box at the wall outlet and my router at a much more convenient location. Please tell me this is possible.
