I have an androuid tv box, 360 elite, internet phone, my pc and wife pc with nothing wireless. My elete, android tv box, and phone are close to my router and use 3 of the ports for them. I have 1 powerline connected to the 4th post with a second powerline connected to my pc and one powerline upstairs where my wife runs her computer. One powerline acts as a sending unit and any connected to another device acts as a receiver. Have no connection problems and all mine are connected with cat5.

the Ralink RT5370 chipset works well (I use this on both Jynxbox STB and Mag 254)

You can use an Ethernet switch like this and you don't need to go wireless. A hardwired Ethernet connection is best for streaming anyways.
Just plug your one Ethernet cable into the switch and now you have multiple ports.
