Hello everyone!
yet another thread on ever-so-same query! pardon me for that, but going thread-after-thread has only resulted in me becoming more confused, and hence i seek some specific answers. i'll try to be systematic in my write-up below. please go through and suggest me something accordingly.
# Net-plan i have - MTNL Trib DSL Unltd 999
# Modem i possess - 450TC1 recently acquired from MTNL, which am planning to surrender
# Place of stay - Thane
# Area to be covered - single-floor house; everything to be covered well under 30ft of radius.
# My usage-needs - a) P2P/torrents
b) occasionally using wifi to use internet on 2 laptops kept in separate rooms
c) use internet primarily with my desktop
e) streaming hd video content and audio content to my media players kept in the hall
now this is the first time i've jumped onto the wireless bandwagon. hence not much knowledgeable in this aspect, but have been devoting time since past few days to learn more.
i had started with the options of --> DLink 2750U & TP-Link TD-W8691ND :yes:
then someone suggested me --> Asus RT-N13U....i said wow! its even better :O
and then fiddling around on the net, my eyes fell upon --> Asus RT-N16 & Netgear WNDR3700 :hail:
and now i am totally :unsure:
* combo router (adsl+router) :
i came to know that TP-Link's W8691ND is better than DLink's 2750U, if one doesn't need the USB port of the latter specifically. DLink suffers from buggy firmwares and can't get you speeds beyond 150mbps.
* stand-alone router :
with this option (which i read is a better option than the above. isn't it so?!), i plan to purchase a modem like 410TC1, and couple it with, well?! that's what you have to suggest
i can't seem to decide between RT-N13U, N16, WNDR3700.
- i would like to have in-built torrent support.
- am not at all jittery about using ddwrt (thanks to dinjo and others!)
- i would like to have such a router which allows me to fiddle with itself extensively, be it through official or custom wares.
considering the above, would N16 / WNDR3700 be overkill for my requirements? if not, then which one of the two should i buy? i won't like to spend beyond 6k, but if its TOTALLY WORTH it, could extend by 500 or so. for the time being, am using deltapage's prices as reference, and i know i could get the routers cheaper locally.
please feel free to ask questions to let the discussion go on in full flow.
waiting for responses eagerly. thanks in advance!
