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!

Why would one of my hardwired PCs has faster intenet speed than wireless PC on same network?

Asked by jjltpc in Miscellaneous Software, Wireless Technologies, Windows Networking

Tags: network, wireless

Hi. I have a Compaq Presario Desktop PC, that is connected to my home network using CAT5, and a Sony Vaio Laptop using wireless.  My network uses Verizon FIOS thru their supplied router for internet.  Everything works fine, but when I use Internetfrog.com' speed test, my hardwired PC gets 6mbs while the laptop gets only around 2mbs.  This is after testing multiple times, very consistent.  Are there any limitations on a wireless verses a hardwired PC? Bothy systems are up-to-date and are virus and spyware free, as far as I can tell. The laptop shows signal strength excellent with 54 mbs. Just seems weird to me. Bot are XP - the laptop has Pro with sp3, and the desktop has Media Center Edition 2002 with sp3.
