I would expect the switch to work for you.

Older buildings only have telephone hook ups and maybe cable ones too, although newer ones can have Ethernet connections and wiring through the walls to connect to many other outlets within your house. You may be able to use this to your advantage if you have it, otherwise if your internet switch is very far from your router, you may have to go into getting a really long Ethernet cable. 

 

For the purpose that I am looking at the right product, could you please take a look at this linked product and make sure that this is the one which you are making reference to?:   https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1089829-REG/tp_link_tl_sg105e_5pt_rj45_g_b.html/?ap=y&gclid=EAIaIQobChMI45nM8oDT3wIVjlqGCh1_VQjEEAQYASABEgJuWvD_BwE&lsft=BI%3A514&smp=Y

Yup, I have the same exact switch in my office. It won't do full 1Gbps, but for the price it's good enough.
