I just noticed, we didn't really answer on of your questions, What is a Switch.
A switch is a network device that can be connected to a port on a router to provide more ports.
A switch can also be used when connecting computer together with out a router, for say a closed network.
In short, your router has a built in switch as well, that is the 4 ports on the back.
