Deco M9 + Switch + Powerline help

Hi all

We ordered the Deco M9+ and it should be here tomorrow. We also need to connect more devices to the M9 so we're thinking of the 5-port switch.

 

We're running into a situation where we may need to connect our son's new Gaming PC to an ethernet as well as another PC (however not do-able straight to router due to distance). We were thinking of  maybe the TL-PA9020P Kit (AV2000 2-port Gigabit passthrough).

 

Few questions:

1) Is there a limit to how many powerline adapters I can use? Can I use 4?

2) Would setup with our Deco M9+ look like this? Cable Modem > Deco M9 > Tp-Link Switch > Powerline Adapter 

3) What's the difference in 5-port switches (LS1005G vs TL-SG105 vs TLSF1005D)?

 

Thank you.

Hello,

 

1) 4 is ok. I used 4 powerline adapters in the past (it was Dlink but should all be the same), 1 connected to the router and 2 feeding devices in different places, and 3rd feedind on of the Deco sattelites

 

2) I have this exact same setup, with a TL-SG1005D switch.
