if you just want a router get(needs a separate modem for bsnl,airtel,reliance connection):
TP-Link 300Mbps Wireless N Router (TL-WR841N) - Buy @ Rs.1473/- Online | Snapdeal.com

if you want an adsl wifi router(no need for a separate modem) then get:
TP-Link 300MBPS WIRELESS N USB ADSL2+ MODEM ROUTER(TD-W8968) - Buy @ Rs.2131/- Online | Snapdeal.com

W8968 is the best option for adsl wifi router & as for issues it seems to be fixed.just install the latest firmware version released in october.

that is the only problem with tp-link.you have to contact tp-link to get the address of nearest distributor/reseller & you can take the product there but if it takes too much time then you can send the faulty unit directly to tp-link Mumbai head office via courier to receive your replacement.

there is no model from any company as good as W8968 at its price.i prefer tp-link based on my experience of never needing warranty with its wired modem i use.even considering warranty issue i would not spend same or more money to get an inferior model with better warranty support.it all comes down to your choice.if you think you will be needing warranty & don't like extra hassle of few days then get dlink.

i made a mistake about firmware update fixing the issue but not everyone face this issue & some solutions work for many facing this issue(though not all).anyway my advice is don't update firmware & see if you face any issues & if not then don't update firmware unless it is released this month or later in future.

in my opinion you should get it(if i have the money i too would get this model).issues are temporary & will be fixed with a firmware update not to mention that there are some ways to solve issue temporarily.also there is no 100% chance that you will face issues because it also depends on default firmware installed & hardware revision(V1 or V2).
