Very much depends on your circumstance.

• Budget.
• House size.
• Number of devices.

Something like this as a starting point:

Correct.

The HUB goes into modem mode, one of the devices plugs into the HUB, the others connect wirelessly to the first device to extend the signal around your home.

Each 'node' has two ethernet ports, however one will be required to connect the HUB to the closest node.

Something like the below will allow multiple devices to connect from the one spare ethernet port on the node:

Just make sure you have enough ethernet cables.
