Starlink provides a router as the Wide Area Network/WAN Default Gateway/DFGW for your Local Area Network/LAN. The Linksys Gigabit switch is your LAN backbone. So "Yes" you can just plug the LAS side of the Starlink port to the LinkSys Switch. Remember Copper cabling has a max run of 100m (328ft). if your buildings are farther away, you need to use Single Mode Fiber/SMF. SMF max range is 20mi. to do this you will need a switch that has Small Form Pluggable/SMF ports. Then procure a SMF/LC module at each end with LX optics to support 1G transmission (~$50). Good Luck
