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?

More ports? Faster ports?
More total throughput between pairs of ports that want to talk to each other at the same time maybe?
Also while unlikely, if it’s PoE you can power stuff with it
It is PoE but I don’t have any PoE-powered devices.
…yet
Now you need an access point.
