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 problem connecting to specific router

Asked by R7AF in Wireless Networking, Windows Vista, Windows XP Operating System

Tags: wireless, xp, router, vista

A friend has a problem connecting to a wireless router. This router works okay with other laptops, and it has worked several days with this specific laptop. The friend's laptop works with other routers. I can't test this myself, as this friend lives in another city quite far from here.

My first thought was that it could be that the router uses a channel that is already in use by another router. We haven't tested this yet.

I would like to know what we can do to handle this problem. Any suggestions are welcome, although changing the router is quite difficult. This friend lives in a student house, and the router is from the neighbour, so that's more or less a given fact.

What is a good scanner for wireless networks, one that works with XP and Vista? If the channel is the problem such a tool might work. I use wifitrak on my ipod for this, but my friend doesn't have an ipod touch or iphone.
