The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

Ethernet setup advice wanted

Asked by hedgeselect in Networking Cables, Network Switches & Hubs, Miscellaneous Hardware

I have a wireless network setup in the house which suffers from interference.  Regardless of that I'm also getting my house replastered throughout and with floor boards up and bare walls broken etc, I want to run some cables around the house.

I'm moving my wireless router and dsl cable box to another room and I need to know the following.

1. What type of ethernet cable should I be using.  I have found some 5m shielded cable in the house and another 15m ordinary ethernet cable.    I will need to buy some more, one for each room at approx. 20m each in length (with the connectors there etc).  

2.  What is a RJ45 economiser like this one http://www.amazon.co.uk/RJ45-Cable-Economiser/dp/B000XMIJ12/ref=pd_sim_ce_3 and can I save myself long lenths of cables for other rooms if I run another room's ethernet cable of the back of a different room's cable with this splitter? Whats the downside/.

3. Are there any pitfalls of using an ethernet cable extender much like you can with a phone cable extender? Does quality of internet slow down with more breaks in the cable?  I have a 10mb line.

4. Is RJ45 just the connector type - any special cable or thickness required.

5. Again, why so many types of ethernet cables.  This 20m length is nearly £5 http://www.amazon.co.uk/20m-Cat5e-Patch-Cable-GREY/dp/B000IAJHQ0/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=electronics&qid=1255178111&sr=8-1 whilst this patch cable is only 50p http://www.amazon.co.uk/20m-Cat5e-Patch-Cable-GREY/dp/B000IAJHQ0/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=electronics&qid=1255178111&sr=8-1  whats the difference

As my builders want to finish my walls very soon I dont think I will get all my cables laid etc in time so I need to know what my priority should be so I can extend it etc later.

Thx.
