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 connection drops

Asked by raw_enha in Wireless Technologies, Windows Vista, Windows Networking

Tags: Vista 64, Intel 5300 AGN

I have Vista 64 Business and Intel 5300 AGN wireless on a Dell laptop.  I can connect to my wireless network just fine, but get disconnected every couple hours to every couple days.  Haven't seemed to be able to hold a connection for more than 48 hours.  All other wireless connections on network have no similar issues.  There seems to be so many variables, I'm not sure where to begin with laying out data.  This is a laptop, as a heads up, I have already disabled power management on it.  That wouldn't be it anyway, as the connection drops regardless of what i'm doing while the laptop is plugged in.  I have tried everything from playing with DHCP broadcast flags, to calling Dell (their only recommendation is to format which is stupid).

All settings seem normal as far as what I can tell from my experience. This may be lengthy, as any suggestions I may not know if they worked for 2-3 days.  Any questions though, I will get you all the possible information you need.  Thank you
