I have the D-Link DSS-8+ switch. According to the manual, when a device is first plugged in the switch determines if the device is 10 or 100 and full or half duplex and sets that port accordingly. Therefore, the port speed would not change unless that device is unplugged from that port. Also, all of my airPoints are plugged into the same switch and one of them is not having any problems at all. I am not arguing, just pointing out facts. I don't think the switch has anything to do with this particular problem.
