just few hours ago, my friend bought Linksys ADSL2+ Gateway for 3.5k. Terrific and it has presets for Airtel MTNL and BSNL DSL connections.
His is 1500sq. ft. 3BHK and the router was set in hall and he is getting network to every corner in his house (including farthest balcony).
And the setup was damn easy. all we had to enter is
1) select which DSL connection being used
2) account userid and password
3) WPA2 new key!
That's it. and the installation was a breeze, thanks to LELA interface. It just rocks.
SERIOUSLY RECOMMENDED!!!!!

and this is much better than using an Airtel modem and Linksys router. Wireless router is to clear cables and if you use both, you need to have
1) two power cables for modem and router
2) DSL cable from splitter to modem
3) LAN cable from modem to router
and you skip two cables if you use ADSL2+ router!!!
Note: Haven't checked how the signal is between floors. heard that it's not the strongest to push signal between floors
