Alcatel 7368 ONT on the wall with my router pluuged into LAN1 on the ONT. Internet working fine for devices connected to/through my router.
Can I plug other devices into the LAN[2-4] ports on the ONT so they can also have 'net access? (or communicate between themselves?)

its is designed to serve 4 different fibre connections in each of the Ethernet ports

Thanks, that's what I anticipated.

With a prior ONT I used, it only required one device to establish the ISP connection and then the other ethernet ports on the ONT were also activated.

No

Lan1 to Lan4
are 4 independant ports off the ONT. They are not connected together

A Huawei device, if memory serves me right. It was a few years ago now.
