Gigabit switch 16 port

Netgear GS116NA 16-Port Gigabit Ethernet Switch.
I have had the switch installed for some time for my home network. I have found on a daily basis that I lose connection to the router and the internet) from my Mac and from a Wireless Access Points in other room. As soon as I power off and on the Netgear switch, normal service is resumed. How can I fix this? This has been happening since new and I thought it was a cablevision issue but eventually I tried turning off and on the switch and it fixed everything. I never had this issue with my 5 port switch. Thanks!
