Switch: A switch is a networking device that connects devices, like computers, printers, and services, to each other, typically over Ethernet ports. Having a switch can allow you to expand your networking system with additional Ethernet ports, which enables you to hardwire more devices to your network.If you use a switch, we recommend using an unmanaged switch or configuring a managed switch to disable Spanning Tree Protocol (STP) and forward Bridge Protocol Data Units (BPDUs) when STP is disabled. This will avoid technical issues with some managed switches as it relates to routing and network loops.

Can You Have Too Many Nest Wi-Fi Points? Another distinction that yet again favors the Nest Router over the Point is the fact that forcing Point devices to connect over the 5 GHz Wi-Fi band crowds the network.
