-One port is connected to the camera (Axis 1013)
This is almost the exact configuration my team used, with that exact switch. (Tiny innit? ) The power to the switch was wired into the VRM. Our camera was a TP-Link something or other instead of an Axis. We also had a Raspberry Pi 2 connected on another port on the switch. We had no trouble with this setup during competition, including tethering to the RoboRio in the pits and on the practice field by connecting our long tether cable to one of the free ports on the switch.

I have read on this forum that which port of the OpenMesh radio the RoboRio is connected to matters. I don't really know why. Try swapping the ports and see if that changes anything.
