Can more than 1 computers share a single Ethernet port?

Here is where I am:
2 computers far from the router
FROM ROUTER TO ROOM: ONE LONG CABLE

How can I connect both Computers to full-speed internet with just one cable?

It only matters if your internet speed is greater than 100 mbps, but considering the small price difference, you might as well upgrade.

I just ran a speed test and got a 361.3 Mbps download. I want both PCs to be using the network at their maximum potential.

Any single device connected to a gigabit switch ought to have access to your 350+Mbit. In the event that two devices were in use, the total would not exceed 350Mbit.

POE should be added to your switch if you are utilizing cat 5 cables and they are long.

POE is not always needed for Ethernet cables. The average length of a high-quality Cat 5, 5e, or 6 cable (UTP, all copper, AWG 22–24) is 328 feet (100 meters).
