Is there a reason to use a dedicated switch with a home router? (lemmings.world)

My work gave me a L2 switch because they were going to toss it out. Is there any reason for me to use that over the built-in switch from my ISP's router/modem?

I agree. Unless there’s a definite need, the most tangible difference may be in the electric bill.
