PLP2000 - Two connections per side?

https://www.ca.netgear.com/home/products/networking/powerline/PLP2000.aspx

I cannot find this information on Netgear's website or Google for the life of me.

The PLP2000 shows 2 ethernet ports on each unit.

Our router is on the main floor and our office is upstairs. If I need to connect two computers to the powerline adapter in the office upstairs, then do I need two ethernet cables connected from the downstairs powerline adapter to the router? Or only one?

  Thanks!
  
  So then (for instance) on the downstairs powerline, I could plug the router and also a separate device into it? I only ask because i'm running out of available ethernet ports on my router. I would assume yes but I'm just double checking ..

    Never tried it but you should be able to do so.
    In regards to the running out of ports, you can snag a cheap 8 port gigabit switch for $15-20 usually
