Can I connect Stream to network switch vs. direct to router?

I purchased Tivo Steam to use with my Premiere.



Does the Stream have to be connected directly to the router? Or can I connect through a network switch which is connected to router?



I tried the network switch first and it did not work. Then the router direct which worked.



Anyone able to use with a switch? If so, is there a particular feature of the switch I need to be aware in order to use with Stream?



Please let me know. Thanks.
