Ethernet Switch- what's the point?

I run an Ethernet cable between my router (standard issue from Verizon) and my streaming transport. I note that some use an ethernet switch between between the router and streamer. Assuming I got that right, what is the point- what does a good switch do? I've been into audio since the 70's but when its comes to streaming, I'm definitely a newbie- 

Thanks all!

ad nauseum 

And why? People just don’t search the forums. Easier to post a new thread and agitate that barely had a chance to develop some dry crust pile of 💩 to ensure that it continues to reek.

One day when I’m bored I might start about half a dozen ethernet related threads. And heck, while I’m at it, might as well just start few “why do cables matter” threads. Drop that massive deuce into the forums and run.
