Possible but unlikely. This switch was in my apartment working fine but not 
processing VLANs over SSIDs.

I was previously on one of the ports working at 500mbps through the internet 
but I didn’t try that today before I left.

That I didn’t. Because I was using mobile platforms to test. I was hoping to 
get another laptop but was not able.

That said - the mobile devices are not the issue; they will process 3x that 
speed easily and have in my experience.

The switch, for those who may want to know, is a Cisco Small Business SG300-28P
