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!

Problems with connecting to wireless router

Asked by Sean_McCarthy in Wireless Technologies, Networking Hardware

Tags: Linksys, WRT310n, Wireless Connection, Cannot Connect, Vista

I have recently started to have issues with connecting via wireless from my computer. For some reason I can see my wireless connection but am unable to connect even though the router is merely 1-2 feet away (the router is an WRT310n Wireless-N Gigabit Router from linksys). I definitely have plenty of signal and can find my router's SSID with no problem using the window network and sharing center, but whenever I attempt to connect via wireless it tells me I don't have any signal. I know my wireless adapter is working fine as I can find my neighbor's networks just OK. I've used two different adapters just in case it had been the adapter that had gone bad. The first is a WUSB600n Dual-Band Wireless-N USB Network Adapter and the second I used to double check was a WUSB54GC Compact Wireless-G USB Adapter. It's also worth noting that I have tried using the LELA software  they provide but it has proven worthless as even after multiple attempts it has never installed properly. It's worth noting that I have installed the most recent firmware for the router updates and have turned off all security and reset the router after installing the new firmware. In the attached code from the event viewer log I'd want to add that the SSID I am trying to access is the default of linksys (I usually use security and a different SSID, but I'm trying to be as basic as possible until I have a handle on what's causing the problem). I've also tried to access this with and without my firewalls on (the native windows one in vista and the one that comes with norton internet security). Any direction would be helpful at this time.
Thanks in advance for your help,
