Adding another TL-WA850RE to my property....

Hi
So i have a BT Home Hub and two of their discs to increase the WiFi around the house.
Long story short, since bringing my work laptop home I've found there is an issue with the built in WiFi from the dining room where i work. It appear to be the adapter/card and not the signal....
Pulled an old TL-WA850RE 1.2 out of the back of a cupboard, plugged it in next to where i work and Ethernet cable from laptop to the port on the TL-WA850RE.
Much better WiFi instantly....
I want to buy another TL-WA850RE to use on my pc (personal) upstairs as the WiFi adapter on that i also getting unreliable. I have temporarily set up one of the BT discs in the office and run an Ethernet cable from pc to BT hub.
A tidier solution would be just to plug in a TL-WA850RE under the desk and then run the Ethernet cable to that.
If i buy and add another TL-WA850RE to my home network, will there be any issues with setup or usage?
in particular wondering about how to access the new TL-WA850RE when it'll likely have the same ip address (to log into the control panel) as the current one???
