Need a wifi router+modem(basically I am not cool with networking but need whatever best suites for BSNL ADSL connection)

Budget
2500 Rupees

Broadband Compatibility
ADSL 2+

Range required
Around 2000 sq. ft flat

Wireless Speed
150-300 MBps(I have an air printer)

Devices connected:

Please suggest a best option for my BSNL connection!
I am leaning to the Asus!Has the problems with TP-Link solved in accordance to BSNL customers?

get tp-link w8968 & if you had posted it in networking section you would have got good replies much sooner.

Thanks

Moderator please can you shift my thread to networking section?

The w8968 is hardware v 2.0 right?
Also are there any bsnl connection establishing issues?

yes,v2 has more powerful antennas(5dbi compared to 3dbi in v1).all adsl connections work in the same way so no issues there,if it works with one company adsl connection it will work with all other companies adsl connections.

What is the maximum download speed in Mbps for tp-link w8968

I contacted tplink support but they say it will support only up to Mbps.

I think ADSL2+ can provide up to 24 Mbps (depending upon ISP)

Please clarify.

well the User Guide says - "Downstream data rates up to 24Mbps, upstream data rates up to 3.5Mbps (With Annex M enabled). "

i am using it with a 2Mbps adsl connection only.

Even I need to buy a good modem for my BSNL connection. BSNL's modem dies really quickly and it's a massive pain to get BSNL to replace it or even repair it.

congrats.
did you get V1 or v2. v2 has antennas with a higher gain meaning greater range.
you have bought it. now wait for establishing a connection and check yourself.;)

I also purchased this sometime back (2 months i guess) working great till now (touch wood), the holes that are drilled right through it help in keeping it pretty cool. Plus it does not seem to restart or die when it becomes too hot (unlike the BSNL modems). Good speed and range too, plus you can always plus in a USB with a set of great songs and enjoy them over all your devices.
