I have recently purchased a tablet which I would want to connnect to internet using WI-FI. Currently useing Belkin G wireless router of friend to connect both dekstop and tablet but I need to buy one for myself. So can I have some suggestions.

I have ADSL routers from BSNL and airtel however since I have Beam Cable now which is fiber connection I don' think I can connect using these existing routers.

Will be primarily using to connect desktop and tablet for connection only in the same room or at the most same floor.

I read somewhere that G Routers are little outdated. I wouldn't like to shell out much money.

So what are my options?

I would need the router mostly to connect to my tab or my mobile mostly in the same room or max same floor. Ideally would want anything which doesn't cost much. I have one that I'm using currently Belkin G Wireless router(friend) which is supposed to be 1.1k. Is it good enought?

G router is good enough for your needs. Choose from Linksys, Netgear or Belkin (in that order of preference). Since I have worked for linksys in the past, obviously, I'm biased. ;)

A few months ago, I bought a Linksys WRT120N from ebay for 1700 INR including the shipping. Very satisfied with the purchase. I use it to access internet on my macbook (wireless/wired), a windows pc (ethernet/wired, on ground floor), a Nokia E63 (wireless) and a galaxy fit (wireless). The wireless signal reaches from the ground floor to the second floor (haven't tested beyond that).

It'd be a wise decision to spend a little bit more and invest in an n router though.

BMG ftw!!
Buy a N router to be more 'future proof' and if your devices support 802.11n then file transfer speed between two computers will increase a lot.

To sum up if u get an n router over G u will get
1.Better speeds
2.Better Range
3.Dual band(u can switch to 5ghz decreases interference)
4.Future proof

Thanks all for your suggestions. Since I'm a little tight on the budget I will have to wait for sometime and as suggested by you all I will go for the N series router.

Also guys wanted to check using the wireless router will I be able to connect my tablet or mobile to my Desktop. If so please let me know how to do this.

I may switch to other internet provider(BSNL/Airtel) maybe ADSL so in that case this router may not be useful. I already have a wireless router for ADSL connection.

So will take a call based on this.

mithun in the post above yours I have given a link which gives details about a WIFI adapter. Do you think it will serve my purpose?

yes u can use that with connectify to connect the tab & mobiles but i suggest to get the router itself rather than the adapter even a g router will give u better performance than the adapter
