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!

Wired Network, patch panel/switch/router/N1 wireless router/cat 6 cable

Asked by SamGarner in Networking Hardware, Network Routers, Network Switches & Hubs

Tags: Wired Networking

I have virgin cable broadband which is currently connected to the N1 Wireless Router (Part # F5D8231uk4).

Every PC in the house (7 PC's) are going to have a Gigabit Desktop Network PCI Card which will have a cat6 patch cable into the cat6 wall socket, each wall socket is cabled with cat 6 cable, all cabling goes to a 24port patch panel. The patch panel is sat next to the wireless router.

There are a few other things to connect to the wired network such as the Xbox 360 and a network camera for security in the garage.

Obviously the N1 router only has 4 ports.

So what is the best way to connect everything together?

I already have:
cat 6 cabling (all fitted)
N1 Wireless Router (Part # F5D8231uk4) this will still be used for the laptops
24 port patch panel

I need:
a way to connect the patch panel to the network and the internet (16 port (or more) switch? or router?)<£100 <more if necessary
a wired network camera (was thinking of Panasonic BL-C1 suggestions welcome)<£70 <more if necessary
Gigabit Desktop Network PCI Card (was thinking of Belkin Part # F5D5005ea suggestions welcome)£15 <more if necessary

I need to know how to connect everything a picture drawn in paint would be cool :) and suggestions for each device i need and why you think that is the best options if you think i need to spend more or less on each item just say what you recommend.

Thanks, Sam
