Need to buy a new wifi router as the last one I had died, Need something no-frills. No modem and just to connect my laptop/phone/tablet. Distance is hardly 10-20 meters.

Any N300 router will work. Pick up from Asus,Netgear or Belkin.

Thinking about getting this:
Buffalo 150Mbps Wireless-N Wireless Entry Model Router | Router | Flipkart.com
Buffalo 150Mbps Wireless-N Wireless Entry Model Router | Router | Flipkart.com
Go for TP LINK. They are cheap and work well, look for ASUS too.

I have this. Terrible range with the default firmware. Works great with DD-WRT.

Ahh sorry then get any normal wireless router from Asus or Belkin
Will do 20-25 meters if there is a single wall in between. Multiple walls just kill the signal.

I bought one recently. It's ok. Range isn't great.
The speeds barely 10-15Mbps in my bedroom (25 feet away, 1 thick wall in between). And about 5Mbps in the loo. 20 feet and 2 walls away.
On the plus side, it's stable, the connections never dropped, and for using it to surf the net and occasional file transfers it's more than adequate.
I got it for about Rs.1100 at Reliance Digital. I was planning on buying the Asus RT-N10E, but chanced upon it while shopping, and decided to pick it up instead.
