If the switch is faulty I would imagine it would just take down the port on the shub it is connected to rather than the whole shub but as it a shub and not a proper router who knows. Rather than assuming the switch is at fault I prefer to attribute the difficulties to one device and through process of elimination disconnect everything from the switch and reconnect one device at a time to see what is causing the problem.

As an fyi for the future, the shub really isn't designed to cope with the traffic on complex lans with ip cameras, servers and whatever else you have got going on. If you want everything to work seamlessly you need to invest in a proper router, some switches and decent cabling and put the shub in modem mode. You are looking around £200-£250 for the whole lot. If a job is worth doing it is worth doing properly.
