newbie question about multiple units

Hello,
I live in a 2 story home with very bad wifi. My cable modem is in my office because I work from home and for security I only hard wire with my work laptop.
I was looking at getting the device: TP-Link AV1200 Powerline Adapter, Gigabit, Up to 1200Mbps (TL-PA8010 KIT) from Amazon.
I understand how this works for a single connection, but what if I want to put one of these in several rooms of the house? Do I have to buy several kits and pair each one (meaning I must have enough electrical jacks in my office to do that)?
Or can I get one "master" switch that connects to the modem and then 4 or 5 devices that would pair to it?
Or maybe I should just do one for upstairs and have that connected to a different wifi router?
thanks - sorry but I'm not very knowable of this stuff.

I have an Asus RT-AC3200 as my router on the top floor in my office. Bamboo floors on the main level and carpet on the second floor

OK, so Bamboo = wood, and it usually has a foil coated foam underlay for insulation - that very effectively blocks WiFi signals...
Asus is a good answer. Google HG Gomes firmware, contact him for access and download yourself a copy. You will be able to significantly increase your transmit power which might help.
