What is a lag switch?
The technical and professional way of explaining it:

    

A lag switch is a mechanism installed on a home network that allows you to insert delays into the flow of local traffic to the Internet.

What does this mean?
If you are host in a game, EG. Call of Duty blackops, And you have a lag switch installed, you simply press the switch which freezes everybody in game. Whilst you on the other hand can still move , run up to the person and kill them , then you flick the switch back and the lag stops. When you flick the switch , it is stopping data from being submitted.

Heres a video to show you what im speaking about:

As you can see it shows what the person with the lag switch sees and what everybody else sees. Credits to 'ZachIsInDaHousee'

How much will it cost making one my self?
Making one yourself will cost you from £3.00 (it will cost more for a longer cable and bigger / better switch), Thats about $5.00

Securely connect them by soldering them , or tightly wraping the wire around it . If you use a light switch you simply wrap it around. I used that switch for mine , but many others use lightswitches.
8.Secure everything and tape up exposed wires etc, make sure there are no loose connections.
9.Finished

[multipage=How to set it up]
Ok there are two ways to set up your lagswitch. One way is free , but may not be a good idea (ill explain) and the other way will cost you an extra £5.

Option one:
You must login or register to view this content.
Plug the Lag switch into the modem , then into the router. Connect to console to the network. When you flick the switch it will lag everyone on your network (not good if your brother is on his laptop)

Option two:

Self explanatory , Only creates lag for the ps3 , but costs more because you need the network splitter.
