I am doing some testing, I have Two router boards (switch ports), I
have to connect my laptop to one board at a time, everytime 15 Minutes
I have to swap my laptop ethernet connection to the board, Is there
any dumb ethernet split switch available (low cost), can some expert
advice me. Thanks.

this split switch should have 2 or more inputs and one output, so I
can position one of the input always, that's all, looking for some
real cheap switch.

They had this invention a while back called Google. Try using it.

You could probably find one at your local Radio Shack store too.

APC makes a broad line of A/B switches:

Check out their RJ45 manual A/B switches:

Here is a list on on-line resellers:

I bought such a switch from Fry's Electronics about 8 years ago
for $15. It worked fine for 10Mbps Ethernet, but I don't know
whether it works for 100Mbps or 1Gbps Ethernet.
