Many thanks in advance.

Yes - as long as there is a good signal you can plug the router into the STB and use the PC anywhere within range.
You are unlikely to hit the maximum number of devices - probably dozens! Two/three systems is fine for a home wireless network.
Btw, don't forget to review the wireless security article elsewhere on C/F - by default a wireless network allows anyone to use you BBand connection - I would recommend at least hiding the SSID and using MAC filtering.
