im using two switches because i have tv boxes downstairs so all ports on switch downstairs are being used part from one , which i have run upstairs to another switch and from this there is a pc and a ps4 and another tv box ( this is why two switches are required ) . could the switches be intermittently faulty ? is it worth buying 2 new 100mbs switches or would giga switches be better ? i renewed the ethernet cable last week so ive eliminated that . thanks
