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!

What is the best wireless access point for distance?

Asked by Peterson50 in Wireless Networking Range Extenders, Wireless Local Area Network, Wireless Networking

Tags: wireless access point, router

Have a client who has an office on a floor that is shared with other tenants.  Presently he has 4 or 5 people together in one part of the floor.  He is renting 2 more offices on the floor, the first office is approximately 40 to 50 feet away from the main switch/server (underneath a secretary's desk).  It is around a corner (L shaped 10 feet one part, the rest a corridor of about 40ft).  The second office is another 40 to 50 feet away (L shaped 40 feet straight, then corner then 10 feet).  We wanted to put a wireless access point where the server is mounted on the wall.  Another repeater at the first office that is going to be rented and then another one at the second office.  We cannot do any wiring on the floor, the building prefers we do it wirelessly, we have permission to install the units outside the office on the wall somewhere.  Any recommendations on the best way to do this and what are the best products to do this with.  (They are using Microsoft Server 2003 just for additional information)

Thanks
