(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); Before you do this, make sure that:

1. Your switch is set up correctly.
2. Your ethernet cable is decently long (not necessary, but it really does help).
3. Your switch is at its best possible location (if possible, its best to connect it to the cable going from your modem to router, or if you can get a switch or hub before the connection to your ps3, that will also help).

modem---(s)---router-----ps3/360

Once you've done all that:

So you flip your switch and immediately get disconnected? Follow these steps to get some lag time.

1. Start to setup an internet connection.
2. Pick Wired
3. This is where most people get the settings horribly wrong. Pick MANUAL! (Picking easy will waste precious time looking for your information after you flip the switch, while having already memorized will allow it to re-connect faster)
4. Enter your IP information (if you don't know your ip address then setup an easy configuration, then look at it from the internet information option)
5. Pick 10base-T half duplex as your ethernet type.
6. Keep MTU at 1500.
7. Disable everything, other than UPnP. Leave UPnP enabled.
8. Test your connection to make sure that it works.
9. You should now be set.

Test it out by signing back in to PSN then flipping the switch. If it doesn't say "ethernet cable disconnected" for a few seconds then you should be good. If it says it immediately then you have probably just done something in your construction of the actual switch. If this is the case, then you should probably start from scratch with a new ethernet cord.

completely, considering:

1. There is no gray wire.
2. Even if there was, it would not be used.

I think you're confused...

check out your ping and if its below 100 you probably need a new router/internet company/or anything that will help your connection

have you tried putting the ethernet cable between modem and router?

modem-----(s)---router-------PS3

instead of

modem----------router---(s)--PS3

i am having a problem too. i made my lag switch with the orange wire and set my settings to everything and tryed 100 base also and as soon as i flip my switch it says ethernet cord disconnected so then i switched to green and same thing as orange. my internet comes from comcast so ping is not a problem. but its modem then ps3 theres no router. not only that but if i just disconnect my cable from my modem for a few sec i get the same effect as a lag switch. so my question is do you have to have a router?
