Dual network switches

I have occasionally been experiencing network drops at my home station. On a whim, I took all of my gigabit devices (computer, Flex 6400) and put them on one NetGear Gb/100 Mb switch. I put all of my 100 Mb gear (TeensyMaestro, TV, printer, etc) on another NetGear Gb/100 Mb switch. So far, no drop outs. Note that each switch is plugged directly into the ISP-provided router (one switch is not plugged into the other).

My question is - is this just coincidence, or is this truly a better setup?

    Are you able to select 1GB vs. 100Mb?

    Hi John, No, the switches just follow the speed presented to them by whatever device is plugged in.

Rich Text Editor. To edit a paragraph's style, hit tab to get to the paragraph menu. From there you will be able to pick one style. Nothing defaults to paragraph. An inline formatting menu will show up when you select text. Hit tab to get into that menu. Some elements, such as rich link embeds, images, loading indicators, and error messages may get inserted into the editor. You may navigate to these using the arrow keys inside of the editor and delete them with the delete or backspace key.
