if i purchase a https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B0974XNG...629781_TE_item qnap 10GBe unmanaged switch can i plug my superhub 4 into one of the 10GBe ports on the switch and then use a cat6A cable from one of the 2.5GBe ports to connect to the 2.5GBe port on my motherboard (Asus ROG Strix x570)?

i get the feeling it's not that simple. would i need another router like an Asus RX86-U with a 2.5GBe WAN port?

Thanks in advance
