Hi
Got a Sonos Connect.
It is currently connected via wifi. Will both of the ethernet ports in current setup works a a switch?
I mean, can I connect two computers using ethernet cable and connect to internet?
The wifi is then acting as an uplink to the router.

That may “work” if you don’t mind the ancient slow speeds it will provide or your connected equipment hogging the connection dropping your music.
Considering a Gigabyte Ethernet Switch is around $20 it seems hardly worth trying.
8 port is cheaper than the 5 port.

Welcome to the Sonos Community!
Just to expand on
It does make far more sense to use a switch, as suggested - Sonos ethernet ports are 100Mb maximum, and Sonos systems generally do not take kindly to other devices using up their bandwidth (audio doesn’t take much bandwidth, but other uses can).
I hope this helps.
