[h=1]TP-Link 150Mbps Wireless N Router (TL-WR740N)[/h]

I am using the TP-Link 150Mbps Wireless N Router (TL-WR740N),through BSNL phone line(Broadband),and am connecting PC,Android Tablets at ease.The full credit goes to our Dear Friend @whitestar_999(an expert and authority regarding network issues,problems and solutions)without whose help,I wouldn't be able to configure & connect to the network at ease.
By the way,as @mitraark questioned you,I also want to know that,which ISP service you are in networking?

i have taken internet from a local cable guy, so i guess its incablenet in mumbai..

the guy came to my place and plugin a lan cable in the lan port of pc and did some dialer setting, he said that it will only work with the mac address of one pc

but i want to use it with wifi in home with other devices, hence i am asking

why would i hide anyting, nothing.. its incablenet

using mac cloning/spoofing feature of the router you can set your router mac address same as your pc mac address.once you login with your pc you will then be able to access net on any device connected to router.

^ For what do you need WiFi USB adapter? If it is for your PC, I think you won't need it. Even the cheapest of WiFi routers have at least a couple of lan ports, you can just connect the WiFi router to your pc with a cable.

as for turning pc on it depends on the settings of your local isp.if it requires a login using some webpage like reliance then you have to first login using your pc & after login you can turn pc off.if it is simply some username/password like used in windows dialer then you can set it in router itself by selecting wan connection type as pppoe & entering username & password.

if dialer is like this then most likely it will work with router by selecting wan connection type as pppoe & entering your username/password in router setting.after this & registering your router mac id with isp any device connected to router should get net access.as for usb wifi adapter choose any option within your budget.
