That’s what I’m hoping, but, I have a contradiction posted too, just above this post.

I don't think #4 is a contradiction.

You need to think of this in terms of the individual links.

Of course, the collective bandwidth of all machines on the switch over the link back to the router must be less than 100 mbps. You need to traverse this link to access the Internet or anything on the wifi network. However, the machines on the 1000 mbps switch can easily communicate with each other without traversing that link (the router doesn't have to be involved).
