Hi all,
I need your help to buy a wifi router for my home. I did go through many existing posts and found some useful information, but still have some doubts.
Here's my set up:

Internet connection: Airtel 4mbps (might increase to 8mbps when prices drop below 2K)
Required purpose: sharing internet connection (not files between devices)
Devices: One pc (wired), one laptop (wifi, via VPN) and one mobile (wifi). Laptop is the only reason why I am buying a router.
Room setup: a straight line from router to any device would cross maximum two walls, or one floor and one wall.
Torrents: yes, setup port forwarding easily
Budget: Rs 2000 max

The router setup must be easy as I am not that tech-savvy, and must have a good customer support. I liked some Asus models but their support interface is via Rashi Peripherals, so i dropped idea to buy any asus product.
Here are my shortlistings:

Buffalo n150 - Found through various forums that it is a good product, and Belkin products must be avoided though they cost less.
Netgear N150 Wireless Router WNR1000
Netgear Wireless-N 150 Router

Netgear Wireless-N Router

D-link Wireless-N 300 Router
I can buy via eShopping or go to nehru place. I am open for other model suggestions too.

Thanks in advance.
 
I have also been looking to buy a Wifi Router for few days now. Initially i decided to go for the Buffalo, but its not in stock with our TE dealers. Its reviews are good though.

I liked the Belkin ones but the basic model has range issues as reported in various forums, so am planning to go for the Dual Antenna Surf. It would be good for your requirement as well, since the range is pretty good and the setup easy. :)
 
am in the same boat too.. got a local fivenet connection which is wired .rj45 to to the onboard port

am looking for a wifi solution wherein i can connect my pc directly to the wifi router and connect my atrix and laptops via wifi

also the wifi range needs to be good guess arnd 40 ft and 1-2 walls in the way

which wifi router is recommended for the price of arnd 2k
