This may be the silliest question ever but here goes. I have 3 devices connected via cat5E to the first 3 ports on my 4 port Netgear adsl modem/router (DG834G). I have a Solwise Homeplug Turbo connected to the 4th router port which links to another Homeplug connected to an xbox running xbmc to stream video. I want to add another xbox media centre in another room. If I buy another Homplug turbo, would both my xbox's with their homeplugs connect to the one(same) Homeplug that is connected to the router. Thus even though I am adding another network enabled device to my network I wouldn't need a 5 port router or switch as the new homeplug/xbox shares the 4th port with the other homeplug/xbox. Or do these things only work in pairs, in which case I would need 2 new homeplugs and another router port
