Use Multi Port for Xbox One X?

I am no expert and confused as to what this port is actually for. Can I or should I be using the Multi Port directly to my Xbox One X?

 

It's the only port I'm not using on the back of this unit and wondered if if I could make use of it.

    It should work. After all, the manual says that you can "connect a device, such as a Multi-Gigabit Ethernet Switch that supports Gigabit Ethernet".

     

    If you want to connect something slower, it isn't likely to complain.

     

    Why not try it? Or use that port for one of the other devices on your network?
