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!

Cisco Aironet 1250 / 1252 Access Point Configuration Help

Asked by gpubit in Wireless Network Access Points, Wireless Networking, Wireless Local Area Network

We just purchased a couple Cisco 1252 AP's to replace our old Linksys AP's that kept dropping wireless connections and poor performance.  All we are wanting to do is install 2 of these AP's in our office.  One on the first floor at one end of the building and one on the second floor of the opposite side.  Using the web interface it is easy to configure simple WEP using the Express Security section.  However selecting 40bit WEP only provides connectivity up to 54mb we are wanting to utilize the full 300mb connection speed on both the 2.4GHz Antenna and 5GHz antenna.  On our old AP's we just selected WPA-Personal.  We don't have a radius server or any sort of authentication server.  Frankly we aren't too concerned about that.  We just want basic security with a password to get on and the ability to utilize the full 300mb connectivity speed of 802.11n.  We also want to be able to assign the same SSID to both AP's so that our entire office is covered and people don't have to connect to different SSID's.  I was told setting up multiple AP's using the same SSID is fine and that the computer will  stay connected to the one with the best signal strength.  please help.  This should be a simple answer for anyone familiar with Cisco AP's.
