Powerline Adapter Help

Hey

Essentially, I was wondering whether I can add more Powerline adapters to an existing circuit.

 

So, I've had for around a year 2 Powerline adapters in my house - 1 connected to the router, and one plugged into my TV downstairs to provide an ethernet connection. Recently, I have been having problems with high ping and lag on my Xbox upstairs, so I wanted to know if I can add more adapters to the circuit.

In the uk, you can't buy single adapters yet, so I would have to buy a pair of adapters so was looking at the tp link PA4020P kit, as I comes with 2 identical adapters. 

 

Considering I already have an adapter connected to the router, can I use both of them as adapters around the house (e.g. pair both of the with the original circuit) or will I have to set one up next to the router and another for the xbox, making two parallel pairings.

 

Struggling to find answers elsewhere so any help is greatly appreciated.

 

Thanks
