HELP .. Just installed a BSNL plan today !

You should get 60-70 Mbps on Speedtest/Fast/M-Lab speedtest(Google) .Never less than that. Both on upload and download and always check speeds with LAN cable
58-60 is also Okay. but BSNL always provides speeds more than on paper

I got 60-70 MBps with LAN cable. But right now I checked the speed with my wifi connection and I am getting only 30 Mbps. Even with wifi quality, I should be getting atleast 45-50 Mbps, no ?

The Wireless router they give is crap , get it replaced if you can , or buy a New router which works alongside with this in Bridge mode. The router they gave just works as Optic to Ethernet in that case.

Are you on 2.4 ghz band or 5 ghz. Most likely you have got a crappy single band router, that's why you are getting better speed on lan.

The modem they gave is NETLINKHG323RGW which is a single band ONU (2.4GHz). Will they refund me if I ask to return it and buy my own ONU from elsewhere ? Any recommendations for a good ONU on Amazon or Flipkart ?

Buy a wireless router instead of a ONU. It will work with your ONU

Let me clarify .. I want to return the 2.4GHz Netlink ONU-router that BSNL sold me, get refunded for it (Rs 2500) and then use that money to buy a dual band router-modem combo, preferably of another brand like Huawei. Do you have any recommendations for such a combo unit ?

@sling_dong dual band Huawei onu is hard to find.
You can get dual band Syrotech , Netlink combo onu but that might not be better than having onu in bridge mode with some good dual band. TP-Link /Tenda/ etc router.
Expect price for new router to be around ₹2000.

I also think getting a decent dual band router will be much better, this way you won't need to go through all that hassle.
