It is something that is recommended by Rob from the Today in iOS Podcast and a recent Tech Radar article somebody posted here also mentioned this as a fix for problems with battery life or bluetooth/Wi-Fi connectivity after an upgrade. I just find that doing it in advance prevents such problems in the first place and while most of the time it may not be necessary, I rather do it and not need it than not do it and run into issues.

I decided to avoid the rush. I understand the backing up and closing all apps with the app switcher, but why reset network settings? My wi-fi connection is working fine now. What is the purpose of resetting it? Thanks.

I did this last night, it told me the update was 1.1 Gb (for my 6S Plus I seem to remember it was much larger) and it downloaded in about 4 minutes, the update itself took about 15 minutes and it was all done. I did, however, do my usual preparation: backup, close all apps from the app switcher and do a Reset Network Settings. Then I reconnected to Wi-Fi, renamed the phone's name back to Jackie's iPhone 6 since a reset network settings will change whatever you had named it to simply "iPhone" and then I did the update.
