using cain and abel by poising the connection to my ps3.

any ways to increase coz if i do it more than 10 secs the game ends.

a network switch extends the time the data can go through without getting disconnected therefor making it take longer for the server to recognize you are lagging. I'd recommend buying a network switch for like $10-15 off ebay its cheaper then buying a longer ethernet and will help you more
I am trying to get a network switch I am doing all I can

hopefully you will, i have a few questions

1) would it even help my wireless setup with cain and abel?
2) would it slow down my normal internet connection when i dont want to use a lag switch?
3) would this be an ok one? You must login or register to view this content.

1. It should
2. No not unless your lagging it yourself
3. yes it'd be fine maybe buy me one too xD i gotta look at it I could help alot of people but I don't got any online money :mad: but glad I could help you so much i'll keep checking up on this

k thanks a couple more

1) there are so many network switches on ebay, which are the right ones to buy?
2) what about the ethernet lengths with a network switch such as modem to switch 15m then switch to router 1m?
coud u recommend some lengths

Any switch will do, just make sure its not a hub (which is very similar to switch, but works a lot differently).

This is the same switch I use

Its actually very good for so cheap. You can also pick these same ones up at Wal-Mart or Best Buy for the same price, sometimes less.

And as I said before, length on the cable really makes no difference. The data travels so fast, the amount of 'extra' lag you would get would be unnoticeable. Only way you would see some noticeable lag is if you had some really long cable (like 500ft or more). And even that be very minimal. I am not why or how foolness got a extra 15 seconds due to adding 20ft of cable, but I can guarantee you it not because of the length of the cord. Something else is causing the extra lag.

Just stick with the switch, which should get you some decent (manageable) lag time. Make sure the Ethernet switch is between your router and PS3.

Example.

Modem -----> Router -----> Lag switch ---> Ethernet switch ------> PS3

Obviously the best possible way to do it is by sticking the lag switch between the router and modem... but if you cannot do that, this will be the next best thing.

Well, I beg to differ having lengthy ethernet cables CAN HELP. Everyone gives the same arguement you do yet without my 20ft cable I get no lag. also cynical still hasnt replied. I recommend the switch but ethernet cord is an option too and I doubt you could find a switch at walmart cheaper then on ebay

You must have done something else to get that lag, 20 ft of extra cord should not give an extra 13 seconds of lag. There is something else at play here, there has to be. :confused: Try it again with another cord (and another cord on top of that just to be sure it wasn't that one cord).

BTW, about a year ago I got my switch from Best Buy for about $15, which isn't exactly cheaper than eBay, but it was convenient and I had it instantly. Prices only go down with time on stuff like this, so its very possible that one might be available for $10 or so.

so will a switch defo help with my wireless lag switch, i guess il give it a go

Well, what is our situation here? Basically there is a wireless router upstairs and you are using that wireless for your PS3? And you don't want to run long cables from the router to your PS3 right?

I'm trying to figure out how getting a switch would be easier for you.
