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!

Apartment Wireless Access Points?

Asked by KevinMcKay0 in Wireless Technologies

Tags: Wireless Networking

Hey Experts,

Thank you in advance for taking the time to help with this issue.

Issue: Existing internet on 4th floor of old mill building (brick walls everywhere, with a central elevator) needs to be shared to device located in the basement.
59
Currently there is no router just one pc located on the 4th floor with a broadband ISP.
There is no efficient way of running wires.
The Device (not a pc) in the basement must connect via an ethernet port not wirelessly.
I would like to secure the wireless connection so other don't use the bandwith

My first guess would be to get a wireless router and a few access points.

However i dont know what equipment to purchase. I have used linksys and netgear for most of my wireless networking and they have worked o.k. not great. The location that this installation is to take place is about 2 hours from me so i want something reliable that i will not have to go and reboot monthly. Please let me know what you would suggest. Please remember that only 2 devices will be connected and they will always be 4 floors away..

PS.. I called CDW and they suggested the Cisco WAP200 Wireless G Access Point (PN 1138177)

PSS..

I realize this question has been asked before and answered however most are old and i would guess that there has been improvement to the hardware.

Thanks,

Kevin
