Whole Home WIFI - network switch with ethernet connection

Hi all

I've got 6 (white) Whole Home WIFI discs, 1 of which is in an outbuilding and had been connected wirelessly to another in the main house successfully, although due to the distance (approx 20m) the signal wasn't the best.  Have just run a CAT7 cable from the house to the outbuilding and have connected up the outbuilding disc (to the router itself), which is fine and working OK. 

My question is - could I connect a network switch and will this work?  So essentially the disc is connected via ethernet and can just plug in other devices to the switch also?  By extension, could I then connect an additional disc to this switch?  Have looked around and seems a switch to the disc is fine, but can't find an answer on when the disc is connected up via ethernet so any help would be appreciated before I order a switch!

Thanks, James

I see no reason why not, the disc will be unaware of being connected via switch rather than directly.
