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!

Linksys WPC11 Problem

Asked by LeftofCool in Wireless Networking, Wireless Network Cards & Adapters

Tags: wpc11, linksys

I share a broadband connection via a WAP router. Recently, my wireless computer has been having problems connecting to my internet connection and it routinely connects at 2mbps with no packets being sent or received. If I go into the tcp/ip properties of my wireless card, enter random digits for the ip address, subnet mask, default gateway, dns server, and alternate dns server, save them and then go back and set it to automatically set an IP address and dns server, the card will connect at 11mbps and send and receive packets and I can access the internet. I am consistently having to do this everytime I take the card out and put it back in or boot my computer up with the card inside. I have tried switching channels on the router, restoring to factory defaults, upgrading the firmware of the router, and even uninstalling and reinstalling the wireless card, all to no avail. I have worked with several Linksys reps, none of them are sure what is happening. I am certain it's not a virus or spyware. I have the latest drivers for the card and the latest firmware for the router. My wired computer works fine consistently although it's not with me at the moment because of unlrelated power supply issues. The card seemed to disappear out of the "Safely Remove Hardware" icon in the task bar, and soon after that these problems started. The card is installed according to device manager, however. I need to try the card in a different laptop, but are there any suggestions out there? This is driving me crazy.
