Could this be used if my router isnt near me and I want to put my lan cable in this device? And will it give me better ping on fortnite? null

You will have to run a long Ethernet cable from the router to this device. While WiFi can theoretically give faster speeds, a direct connection through Ethernet does not suffer interference like WiFi does, so in effect, you could have a better ping response on gaming/etc.

Yes it can if you have long enough ethernet cable. I had to run 100 feet cable. My router is upstairs

You will still need a cable running from your router to this switch - the switch has no wireless capability. 
If you can run a cable that far, you might just run it directly to your computer. 
A wired connection will probably give you better ping between you and the router, but most of your ping when gaming is probably between your router and the server. 
This does not seem like the product you would need.
