N150 dont have modem option.. its only n series wifi router. i bought it for 3k 8 months back.

its doing good.. so far no problems.. it has 5 year warranty!. the dual antenna gives maximum range.. 25 to 30 mtrs(indoor).

This is the one I am talking about but the price I saw in the store was less

That model I have not seen.

Also these days u dont need a modem router. every ISP will provide modem by default.
so at that price u can go for dual antenna.. which increases the wifi range.

^^ thanks for the suggestion.. but then it increases the power consumption since 2 units will be connected to the power supply. If I have a both the things in single unit I will only need one point for electricity.

Will you be using it for gaming ?
If yes, then skip it.

@ajayashish these modems are like 0 candle bulbs, they consume very little power.
also if u buy modem+router it will draw almost same amount of energy as it would from from connecting a separate modem and router.
Also hardly u will notice some 10-15 Rs increase in u r electricity bill!

No gaming... just internet sharing and file sharing...

well i am still in favor of a single unit modem cum router... Can anyone suggest. I will be using it within my home which is a 1200 sq ft house...

I also searched Ebay and found this within my budget
