(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.

THumor In no way am i an experienced lagswitcher but....

I recently set up lag switches on both ps3s in my room, have the same type of set up (modem)----(switch)----(ps3) have you cut wires other than orange and green? at first i had lots of problems with it, and the router i attempted to use, which led me to cut all the wires and try them, i eventually just moved to the next ps3 with a new cable and tried with no router.
It worked like a charm, except that it only works correctly while playing, if i hit the switch on the xmb or even while waiting for the match to start, i get disconnected. When i went back to bother with the first ps3, i could only use upload lag, and it would only work on automatic settings, on half duplex i would disconnect every time. So i bought a new cable, and it worked too.

Have you purposely or accidently cut any wires other than orange and green?
Have you tried your switch in game yet?

heyy kryptikkilla i got the same problem like THumour i tried it while i was INGAME and i still get the error message after 1-4 seconds.... and i checked the cable and its everything allright... the orange is the only cable which is used (broken)

Hey, i just builded the switch and the cabel for me is the orange. I found out it was the orange by looking at the "what cabel you should use" thing. But when i flip the switch with the orange, it dosen't do anything. But when i flip it with the green cabel, it disconnects me every time. I tryed to do the 10base-half thing, but then when i flip it, dosen't do anything either..... PLS HELP :S
