Questions What is your budget? Flexible (Need value for money upgrade) What is your existing hardware configuration (component name - component brand and model) Current PC is 9 years old. So I guess I have to change everything! Which hardware will you be keeping (component name - component...

Perfect! v1 of the router (the predecessor) is supported by DD-WRT. But the current one is not. However OpenWRT support is there apparently. Perfect. I will go ahead and buy this. Will circle back with my observations once I get it up and running! Thanks a ton for your time and help blr_p!!

The TP-Link router has a USB port. The RT-N12 C1 router (not N13U. ) does not have have an USB port. I wont get good signal/range even if I have wired broadband? I understand that if I am going to rely on a dongle, there might be some range issues. But for ACT broadband on the TP-Link router I...

So I have finally come down to 2 choices 1. Asus RN12 C1 - As recommended by blr_p 2. TP LINK TL-MR3420 3G/4G router - http://www.flipkart.com/tp-link-tl-mr3420-3g-4g-wireless-n-router/p/itmdet9bxmndehck?pid=RTRDET9AQR7EMM2G&srno=b_9&ref=98f7a19e-8ce1-4411-825b-ec2926411547 I am interested in...

Not bought yet. Mostly weekend I will decide and order off. Will keep you posted here!

N12 you mean? N13 is not a traditional router. Looks like a wi-fi dongle.

got it! Thanks for the explanation! Will check again! The Asus N12-C1 you mean? (Around 1800 bucks). It is there on ebay so I can get it there. Does it satisfy most of my requirements I had mentioned in my first post: - USB support (ext HDD , dongle) - looks like this is not there - Tomato or...

Did not understand this sorry! The installation guy said they charge extra for router so I told him I will buy one myself! Out of stock in flipkart. Any other alternatives? Ah ok. I understand. "Locked into N150" means what?

I tried this. Exactly the same setup you mentioned ( Laptop connected to 450 bx1 modem-router using ethernet -> DLNA using Windows Media Player (I was not able to get the tool you suggested to work) -> Stream to from external hard disk(connected to laptop) to Moto G using Bubble Upnp. Streamed...

I have a modem-router. Can I use it as a router alone? Is that possible? Then there is no reason to buy

Here is the screen grab from Wi Fi Analyser at the farthest point:

Got it! I think it is 3 walls x 6 inches each for sure. I think interference is not an issue. There are no networks in the 50-60 db range even in the farthest point of use This went over my head! Assume streaming is not important in the farthest point (the room with 3 walls in between from the...

Ah ok :-) . I will go home tonight and get readings from my corner room where my signal usually drops off I will check ebay too. Lets see how much it costs there.

Thanks a lot for your reply cranky! I will keep the Netgear JNR3210 in mind. Looks like it would be within my budget (saw that it costs 3100 in flipkart).

The walls are six inches thick. Just measured it. Between 6 and 9 inches only for sure. Yep. That should do. In that case, not needed! Single band should do "Yoda" is the network I am connected to. The neighbouring networks are above -80 so I guess it should not be a problem right? ( I took...
