If you have switch from hub to switch, the answer is yes of course. Hub uses broadband connections all the time, when switch creates a virtual channel for each connection. It protects your network from somebody who wants to collect network packages which do not belong to that person. Some router have manageable interface and allow even filtering. Depending on model you are using you benefit more or less but still benefit anyway.

∙ 14y agoSince a switch will only transfer a packet to the connected client that has the correct MAC address, only the sender and receiver will see the packet. On a hub, everyone has the opportunity to see the packet even if it is not for them.
The switch will eliminate sending packets to systems that are not supposed to receive them, making the use of a packet sniffer not as reasonable for looking at sensitive information.
