I need a wi-fi router for my 1 bhk to connect 2 smartphones and 2 PC's and 2 laptops. The PC's will connect using a LAN cable.
I've connected all the computers (and airtels broadband modem) to a 5-port switch right now, but now I think it's time to upgrade.

I'm looking for the cheapest router, with the longest warranty. It's got to be secure and if there's one that lets me alternate between using a 3G connection and a broadband modem that'll be an added bonus.

I've short listed these 3: Buffalo 150Mbps Wireless-N Wireless Entry Model Router vs Asus RT-N10E Wireless-N150 Router vs TP LINK 150Mbps Wireless N Router: Compare Routers: Flipkart.com

Buffalo 150Mbps Wireless-N Wireless Entry Model Router - WCR-GN-AP
Asus RT-N10E Wireless-N150 Router
TP LINK 150Mbps Wireless N Router - TL-WR740N

The TP Link has DD WRT support, the others I'm not sure about.
Which one should I go for, and why? Are there any other's that I should consider?

Thanks for reading!

I have another question.
If my smartphones connect using Wi-Fi b/g and the laptops n will there be a problem?
 
Take the basic belkin router available.should easily suffice your requirements.belkin has a fantastic a.s.s.
 
I happened to go to Reliance Digital yesterday, and found the Buffalo router for Rs.1149.
Bought it, and set it up, and it seems to be working ok.
I'm not sure if I've set up security correctly and I need to open some ports, but other than that, it's fine.

The utility provided with the router on a CD to configure it is completely useless. I had to configure everything manually. I don't even know why they bother with it.
