RouterPowerline another wifi router. Basically internet help?

Question

Right so i have a Virgin Media Super Hub upstairs.
I want to get "TP-Link TL-PA211KIT 200Mbps Mini Powerline Ethernet Adapter - Twin Pack"
So i can plug one in upstairs into the Super Hub and plug the other downstairs.
And plug it into my computer in the living room, yes this would/should work but it would be better if instead of me plugging it straight into my computer downstairs, if i can plug it in to another router so i can emliminate my dead zone in the living room and also get internet for the computer downstairs.
But can this be done? Plugging in a router into the super hub? The super hub is a router and a modem, and you can change it to "modem mode" so you can plug in a router.
But if i do that and powerline it downstairs, then i can't have my computer upstairs running on the wired internet and i also wont got wifi?
How do i do this?
Any products or advice?

At the remote end, put in a cheap network switch, and then plug in an Access Point (AP). That gives both option, plugged in or wireless.
You could use a second router, but only if you use just the LAN ports, and make the router just a "switch and AP" (do not use the WAN port). To do that, log into the second router, turn off its DHCP, and give it a static LAN IP address from the same network that the first router is in. Then, just use the LAN ports.

That is essentially the most wise resolution... You'll want an electrician for this phase: Get a Wall Ethernet Plug established in the back of your modem which connects to yet another Wall Ethernet Plug hooked up on your residing room. D.I.Y section (if wall plug set up): Plug an ethernet wire from your modem into the wall plug at the back of the modem. Plug an additional twine from you laptop into the wall plug into the lounge.
