I am having 3 desktop pc , 1 laptop, 1 psp, and I am going to buy PS3 soon,
Now I want to use my Triband NU 2mbps connection over wifi with all the 3 desktop computers along with laptop and ps3/psp , so that I can stream movies from pc to psp/ps3 thru wifi. and use internet 24 hrs over all items.

But I am confused which wifi router to buy, I am currently using Dlink GLB-502t router

Also , I read that we can have 1 wifi router (with build in ADSL router) to connect all items.?? is it possible?

Linksys by Cisco Wireless-N ADSL2+ Modem Router WAG160N

please have a look at this, and suggest me how to Setup wifi at my home, I need better range , with budget of around 6-7k. I stay at Mumbai.

Please help me with this, suggest best wifi router and how to setup for above needs.

Thanks.
 
You could get the WRT610N, a draft N simultaneous dual-band router. This will future proof you for quite a while, and dual band means your bandwidth won't get bogged down if a slower device is accessing the network.

You'll need adapters (PCI/USB) for all your desktop PCs. Once the router is wired up, you'll need to connect a PC or laptop through the wired port and configure the router. I use DHCP for some machines (like my now defunct Nokia N85) and fixed IP for all desktop machines, but for a newbie DHCP is probably better (all machines get their IP from the router). Use some protection, even WPA with a strong password will do.

Set up internet sharing on the router's access pages, and you're done.

How much will 610N gonna cost in mumbai?

Also , what if I dont want to use my Dlink router and want a ADSL router wifi
 
610N is very expensive around 10K if i am not wrong.

Go for Linksys WRT160N its best bang for the buck if you want performance and Draft N for future IMO.

It retails around 5.5k to 6k.
