Is it possible to plug in a switch into the gaming adapter and share the
wireless connection to the router with multiple devices?

I doubt it. By the description on the site, it doesn't perform like a NAT
router, so it is a "one-to-one" device. Why not look into a wireless
router, or, if you already have a wired router, use a wireless access point
designed to share multiple devices?

Wireless router: DI-524
Wireless access point: DWL-2100AP

For games:
Wireless router: DGL-4300

All of those can be found at:

You don't have to stick with D-Link products, though. You could check out
others.

Hi
Since the price difference is rather modest you might consider the
DWL-2100AP
It is a full capable Access Point that can work as a client connected to a
Switch. I think it is also more secure than the Game Adaptor, and have
removable external antenna.
