(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.

I like seeing posts like these.

great post this really helped out ty

No it does not.a Modem is NOT required just may give you less/more lag time.
