Me and my friend needed a BB connection. So we got the land-line first. Now for the BB, the lineman told me to buy a router of TYPE 2 (wut). What is this type 2 and plz recommend me a good router on Flipkart .


NO BUDGET LIMITATION.

  • Do i need to buy anything else like a modem or is it inbuilt in the router?


We live in a hostel so two different rooms will be connected by this router. What is that cable called? I will buy it locally and will the lineman himself fix the ends of the cable(plugs which will go in the Ethernet socket) or i have to do it myself?

PS: Our plan is "Upto 2 Mbps till 150 GB, 512 Kbps beyond 150 GB @ 3500rs monthly"

Thanks in advance.

This is just a temp starting plan. We will see how much we can pull in a month and then will choose accordingly. I wasnt sure that BSNL will actually provide 4Mbps speed at our place hence the 2Mbps.


What about some other question? Can you help with those?

Your router is all that you need. No need for modem separately. If your PCs have wifi then you can connect without any hassle.

Otherwise, you will have to use the ethernet ports provided at the backside of your router. Typically you get 4 of em.

To connect router to your PC, use CAT6 cable with straight crimping. If you are connecting router to a switch then you will need crossover crimped cable.

Get it done from the place where you buy cable. Or you can buy a crimping tool and learn a bit about how to crimp straight and crossover.

For bsnl BB, you will need a router that has modem. You have two options.

1. Buy a modem cum router with wi-fi and 4 lan ports, like TP-Link 8968 or D-Link DSL-2750U
2. Buy a modem and a separate wi-fi router.

I am using the second mode. D-Link DSL 2520U modem and a separate D-Link DIR-600M router for my bsnl bb. Earlier I was using TP-Link, but the connection used to fail frequently. No problems after switching to d-link.

Most probably you will need only the wi-fi for sharing the connection. If you need wired connection, you can buy network cable from any computer shop easily.

TP-Link would be a better option IMO.

Which modem are you using? D-Link DIR 600M is router only. PPPoE seeting is there in the router settings page, but still you will need a modem.

Still doesnt make sense. After FUP he is getting 2 Mbps unlimited anyways...
It doesnt matter if the Rs3k plan has 150GB or 150TB limit..2Mbps is the max he is getting for Rs3k while 2Mbps is the minimun he is getting at Rs2.7k irrespective of FUP
