@Mario13021 Yes, the devices you have connected to the switch will be able to connect to the internet. When you connect the switch:

Make sure all of the devices you will connect to the switch are powered OFF.

Connect an Ethernet cable to one of the numbered ports on the switch, then connect the other end to the wired devices.

- Connect an Ethernet cable to one of the ports at the back of the switch, then connect the other end to one of the Ethernet ports at the back of the router.

- Connect the supplied power adapter to the power port on the switch, then connect the other end into an electrical outlet.

- Power ON the devices connected to the switch.

Some switches have LED lights corresponding to the device attached to it, that will tell you it's connectivity status.
