Question

According to the website it can. I have not tried it as I only have a single system, but given its capabilities I do not think it would be an issue

I used a Netgear Switch with my Velop Node system. I have multiple Smart TV's that I use direct ethernet connection so a switch was my best option. The WiFi is primarily used for laptop and tablet streaming.

Not to sound flippant, but just connect a multi-port hub/switch to one of the ethernet ports on the router and the answer is yes. Make sure it's a dumb switch though (non-managed). The Linksys router will provide all the DHCP and routing.
