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!

Faulty Internet Connection

Asked by RobertEhinger in Wireless Local Area Network, Wireless Network Cards & Adapters

Tags: connection, internet

I do some pro bono supoort work for our local Catholic school. We have two bulidings, one for the primary grades and the other is the middle school. The principal splits his time between both buildings and utilizes his laptop computer to access the Internet and the school's networks. He has no problem in the middle school building but in the primary building he gets an excellent signal but the infamous "limited or no connectivity" message. This is a secured network. The school's secretary has the same problem. They both can access their wireless networks at home and in other locations but not in the school. Ipconfig shows good addresses and I can ping the router from the secretary's computer. I have not tried from the principals. He has gone to running a cable from the router to his office rather than using a wireless connection. He would rather not use the cable as it presents a trip hazard. I have released and renewed the IP addresses with no success. The wireless card in the secretary's computer is a Belkin Wireless G. The Service provider is Comcast. It is a cable connection. Please advise as to what I need to look at in order to get these computers connected. I wouldn't mind a list of options with the most likely and obvious being first as my time with them is limited.

Thank you!
