I have recently moved to airtel broadband from BSNL. I have very old router which have crappy signal strength, So i wanna get a new one. i Have searched on FK and amazon but i am pretty confused in Routger with/without modem. what is difference between them. Suggest me some good router in budget which should have range in two floor and works decent with airtel broadband connection.

Thanks in advancehttps://cdn0.desidime.com/Placeholders/No-Image-Available.png

Modem +_ router is what u required for dialup lines. Only router is required cable line. IMHO.
Am using tenda since 2 weeks it good upto 10 metres. Worth Rs 612. Tp link are best I think. 2 antenna will give better signals.

So only router will work good with airtel?? or airtel uses dial up connection??

A DSL connection like airtel will require a router with modem built in. There are some decent brands out there. ASUS makes great routers with best software. Dlink, TPlink, netgear are also decent products.

Dlink routers carry 3 years warranty.

If you want feature rich router with lots of customization, look for Asus.

This is not going to help you, but you have missed the 50% cashback offer from Paytm on routers by just a few days. https://cdn0.desidime.com/Placeholders/No-Image-Available.png

I think Amazon has the best regular prices on routers, so check there.

JUST one question? (maybe two)https://cdn0.desidime.com/Placeholders/No-Image-Available.png
Is dual band router really worth upgrading?
The cheap and best dual band router?

Thank you for all your suggestions… Finally bought D link 2600u router. Since i had low budget, couldnt i get better. Reviews are good on amazon and FK. only concern is it has no antenna, so there will be range problem although reviews are satisfactory about range

Still in need of a Router with USB port,
(USB port to put dongle)

AFAIK Tenda 300 (TE-D303) is good option but price is not falling down from a long time,
Any other suggestions ?

Budget: Can pay maximum 1.2k

TP Link TL-MR3020 is also good option for your purpose.
You can check the offer, I bought it for 1000 one year back in offer, but today I could not find any best deal for this.

Single antenna https://cdn2.desidime.com/assets/textile-editor/icon_cry.gif


Yes but has good range almost similar to MR-3420. If you are not using it for LAN streaming shouldn’t be a problem really.

No LAN, Only wifi hotspot is enough https://cdn1.desidime.com/assets/textile-editor/icon_biggrin.gif

TPLink W8968. All In One.
Supports ADSL, USB 3G/4G dongle and Cable modems, with 4 (or 3 if you are using cable modem) LAN ports and wifi. Can be set up for auto failover, with ADSL or Cable as primary and USB dongle as secondary connection. In case of failure in primary, switchover to secondary takes less than 2 seconds. USB port can also be used for printer or external storage.

Mixed review,
are you sure we can use any 3g dongle ?

We are using MTS dongle in our office for last 2 years with this with BSNL as primary. The router is further attached to a switch that supports 15 connections. Whenever BSNL goes down, it automatically switches to MTS.
