A hairy network issue!

Switch, wig out

The switch (that I’m returning today, after it failed completely yesterday evening) is a bit fancier than your average switch. It kept reverting to default settings, including its default IP address - which meant it was not using the same set of networking instructions as my router, preventing everything it was connected to from accessing the internet.
