Hello Bro!

I wana wi-fi router for my system.I don't know much about how wi-fi works,it's qualities,about range,etc. Please provide some info regarding wi-fi routers.

Sam is right. There is no point of a wi-fi router it you don't have a Laptop/PSP/other device that has wi-fi.

+1 for the linksys though.

if in future you're gonna buy a laptop, then only get a wifi router.

i'd suggest Netgear.

then what you need is a PCI wi-fi card & not a router

AGP slot is for Graphics cards........

You should have an empty PCI slot.....

Anyways, I'll suggest you to go for a Netgear Wifi PCI card......*www.netgear.com/Products/Adapters/GWirelessAdapters/WG311.aspx
You'll get it for Rs.800~....

Thanks Gagan 4 d link!
But that gudget demands 'PCI 2.2' slot but I only have AGP slot
So that mean this card is not compatiable with my PC
Wht's d solution than...May b I have 2 change my mobo or wht...

^^ Man, you'll be definitely having an empty PCI slot.....

Anyways, USB to Wifi cards are also available. But I'm damn sure that you've a PCI slot. Just check your Mobo.

Get this: *www.netgear.com/Products/Adapters/GWirelessAdapters/WG111.aspx Its just Rs.100~ expensive than that PCI and actually far better. You can also use it with laptops lacking Wifi.
