Hello,
I'm looking for buying a WiFi ADSL2+ Modem + Router within 2k.

I have selected http://www.flipkart.com/tp-link-td-...outer/p/itmd9tnkhmhmhhhm?pid=RTRD9TDS5ZZGYMJY after reading similar threads on various forums.

Let me mention, that I don't need long WiFi range, I just need WiFi for using my Smartphone. I'll connect the PC using LAN. So investing in a 300Mbps router doesn't justifies my usage.

I'll be using this Modem + Router with Airtel Broadband in Kolkata.

Cooling is must for me, as I'm a heavy downloader.

Please tell me your views upon my selection or if you have any other suggestion.
 
Assuming you are a Linux User.........
I found the below;
When Modem cum Router / Router is used for Downloading, Response for Other activities will be very Slow, Is it Correct ?

I tried with TP-Link Tl-8968, Asus RT-N13U, Dlink 2750U. I unable to Get Desire Results.

Then concluded,
Basic Modem Rs. 700 - 900 [May get 2 No Used]
8 port Giga Switch Rs. 1500 to Rs 2500
Atom Based [GigaLan Preferred] cpu with Wifi Lan Card [150/300/Dual Band] as per your requirement, Rs. 4500 to 9000/-
Is it a Good Hardware Combo, with ~200% extra power requirement.

Presently, I am trying ArchLinux to Configure NAS, Downloading [torrent & pyload], XMBC, Webmin.
 
Sorry, I didn't bought it. I'm asking for suggestion. I have just selected after reading the reviews.

BTW now I'm thinking of going for 8968 >> 8961 >> 8951

ok, so you're building your own media pc.

Now what about the wifi lan card ? intel based is best with ability to attach external antennas.

You got the right product but your above comment lead us to think otherwise :)
 
Going by the specs the only difference between the 8961 & 8968 is the extra USB port & 3G.

The wifi performance should be the same. Its decent for an adsl router and people with basic requirements.
 
Yeah. Setup is easy..!! No issues. Even a noob can do that with CD. Geeks like us prefer Manual from Web Interface..!!

Well, it's just been today. So let it pass a week or month, then I can comment. Tough performance will be same as that of 8961. As already mentioned by @blr_p the difference is only in USB and 3G Support.

installation ease?
