Recommended Posts

Hi friends...

i am looking to buy a wifi router within a range of Rs.1500-1600

P.S. if there is something exceptionally well for home use that provides lot better reception through walls, shall extend my budget to 3k...

I do not have much idea as hitherto i have been using modems without wifi...

belkin, netgear, linksys, cisco, tp-link, asus, d-link, ut stacom...just confuses me...

i am looking at

1.Netgear WGR614 N150 WIRELESS ROUTER(WGR614-A00INS)

INR 1535

http://www.ebay.in/i...=item256dd51739

2. TP-LINK Router =TL-WR740N = 150Mbps Wireless N Router

INR 987

http://www.ebay.in/itm/251016522243?ru=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.ebay.in%3A80%2Fsch%2Fi.html%3F_from%3DR40%26_trksid%3Dm570%26_nkw%3D251016522243%26_fvi%3D1&_rdc=1

Both these are available on ebay and are subject to further discount by 5-10%....

M using belkin n150 Basic router n even though it has an internal antenna, I get a very good reception quality. U can easily get it for 1.25k. Online discount will get u even a better rate.

I have used both Belkin and Netgear. Belkin has poorer coverage compared to the Netgear base model.

I've used DLink and LinkSys and both are good. Never used belkin or netgear. also your area is also large so better check specs and choose router that can cover larger area or you buy one that has facility to change antenna. I am also in process of buying new ADSL2 with wifi router. nothing shortlisted though.

really confused between

D-Link DIR-615 (Rs. 1899)

http://www.letsbuy.com/d-link-wireless-n-300-router-dir-615--p-20928

NETGEAR JWNR2000 (Rs. 2149 after 150 off coupon)

http://www.ebay.in/itm/Netgear-N300-Wireless-Router-JWNR2000-Bill-Warranty-/160756475765?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_203&hash=item256dd52775

netgear has inbuilt antennas...

dlink has two external ones...

if anyone could throw some light, i shall purchase ASAP....

Netgear one looks better, was just a bit apprehensive about its range considering it has inbuilt antennas...

Hello

I took Reliance Broadband connection after disconnecting my present BSNL Broadband , As my UTStarcom W3002G4 doesnt work with Reliance Broadband. I am in look out for wireless router and made some lists below

List 1

Tp Link TL-WR740N (approx Rs 850 after discount) or Belkin N 150 basic router(approx Rs 1200 )

List 2

Tp Link TL -WR841N(approx Rs 1400) or Belkin N300 Surf Router(approx Rs 1650 )

I need only 1 router but confused to choose between 150Mbps or 300Mbps so i made 2 lists.

As i browsed i came to know that List 2 routers provide more coverage .

Thank you

Raghav

The coverage range won't make much difference. The difference is in the speed which will impact you only if you are looking for internal file transfer (between your PCs), not for internet usage as connection speeds are usually below 4 mbps.

Between the two TP Link shortlisted, TL-WR740N has 5dbi single antenna whereas TL-WR841N has 5dbi X Dual Antenna. So coverage range theoretically should be higher for TL-WR841N. Secondly it will be better for HD Streaming etc being fully N300 compliant 2T2R MIMO.

It's worth spending Rs 550 more and go for TL-WR841N.

I believe in today's time going for new router should also check for USB dongle support as well. Does any of the above discussed has USB dongle support....
