14.5 hour outage today

I'm actually hoping that it was the switch so that this fixes it permanently. The first switch was an older Linksys; the second was the *hub* version of the older Linksys; the new one is a Netgear "Prosafe" which was more expensive - but hopefully, is "pro" quality as opposed to "consumer grade".

(Protip: very few computing items actually considered "pro" or "enterprise" grade are sold in stores.)

It's also a giggety-bit switch even though none of the ports it connects to are giggety-bit.
