No.  However, my 16 port switch is only 100 Mb.  Also, with WiFi, you 
never get the rated speed because of the way WiFi works in that only one 
device transmits at a time.  That 300 Mb/s is the actual maximum data 
rate while transmitting a frame.  It's sort of like the old half duplex 
Ethernet networks on cable and hubs could do 10 Mb/s, but nothing 
obtained that rate in practice.
