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!

wireless repeater using a 2Wire Home Portal

Asked by thedslguy in Wireless Network Access Points, Wireless Local Area Network, Wireless Technologies

Hello experts:

I just set up a WAP (Netgear WG102) to act as a repeater. There is wireless access to part of the area but two of the furthest rooms get very low quality signal and it will not sustain a connection when data starts to flow. So I've set up this WG 102 as a wireless repeater. The host Wi-Fi router is a 2Wire 1000HG Office Portal. I set the WG102 to receive its input signal from the 2Wire's MAC address and I set the security (WEP) with the correct access code. I can see the WAP throughout the area now but still cannot connect.

Any suggestions?

Thanks
