After selecting all the switches, return to the jammer, pick it up, and aim towards the corner where the ladder is placed. The jammer will deactivate the barrier in that area, aligning the connector with every blue switch in the puzzle area.

Basically, the laser barriers continuously appear, and the only way to deactivate them is by facing the jammer towards them.

Pick up the jammer, head to the right side, and encounter a window. Through this window, spot the red switch. Aim the jammer towards the switch, and the laser barrier surrounding the red switch will be deactivated, aligning every red switch in the puzzle area with the connector.

Pick up the jammer once more, move forward, and aim it at the laser barrier obstructing the path to the main device. Clear the path, interact with the device, and complete your Gateway Switch puzzle in The Talos Principle 2.
