Local ISP.. do i need to buy Router?

[terminater]

I have changed my ISP from BSNL to local internet provider by the name of " Powernet". Powernet guys says.. that Router is required for WIFI .. with their type of connenction.. ie cable connecting to Lan port of PC./ Laptop.. (RJ 45 )

I have ..Beetel 450 TC1, modem + router , which i used to connect to my BSNL connection... But Powernet guy says.. it will not work...
..
Is it so? or can i configure the Beetel Modem+Router to connect....to '"Powernet"

If .. router is indeed required, then which router to purchase..(within 1 k)... I m looking for speed ,reliability and Wifi range(3BHK)

What sort of authentication do they use? Is it always on i.e. you don't need to login to any website?

It is always on.. Basically.. as per their info.... They have tower..outside.. my premisses... They have put a device on my flat terrace....which connects wirellessly to their tower... from the device(on my terrace).. they have put a cable with RJ45 connector,, and connected it to a Router.. and one end of router to my PC .. lan port...

The connection is always.. on. .does not require me to login to anything...[DOUBLEPOST=1450797465][/DOUBLEPOST]anyone??[DOUBLEPOST=1450797500][/DOUBLEPOST]can the Beetel 450TC1 .. be configured to act only as a router with modem facitlity deactivated?

Yes you will need router. For 3BHK house, I doubt there will be one with enough range in your budget. You can get TP-Link 841N near 1k mark. But again coverage across house would be difficult and would largely depend on structure/position of rooms.

TP-link is the best router. Anyhow it depends on the antenna strength of your router to cover an area of 3BHK flat.

You may not need a router, but an Wireless AP maybe. Its best to check with your ISP.
