Hi guys, need suggestion for replacement for d-link 2570 modem router for my small office. We have BSNL broadband, shall connect two computers ,a network printer and a Go flex home on wired lan+about 11 wireless devices (about 6 mobiles, 5 computers/laptops+1 wireless all in one) to this. I was using the d link model but have had to replace two units in about 15 months because of failure. The modem/router generally runs 24x7. Can you suggest a model which will be trouble free? Though 2570 was okay for our needs, I can't have downtime due to modem failure every seven months! Please help. TIA
 
Its better to have separate modem running in bridged mode and a good stand alone router.
If you still need modem router combo, check out tp link 8961 combo..cheap and good.

I do also have a WD N900 router at home, are you suggesting I pair this with a modem? Which modem do you suggest? Thanx for the tp link suggestion. Is flipkart the best pace to buy it? @chetansha
 
If wd900n is running fine then you can buy any modem like linksys or zyxel.
Many users are not happy with Wd 900, but since it has 7 lan ports it could suit your requirement very well.
Well i have been using an linksys am300 modem for years, just kept upgrading routers.

Another option for you will be modem+ 8 port switch + mikrotik groovea 52hpn
