Need help with router.

AFAIK, only the w8968 sports both a modem as well as WAN capability in order to use it as a standalone router, most modem router combos can't be used as standalone routers. Since you already have your FTTH modem (ont), you need a standalone router.

Thank you so much I think you are right and a router is all I need. If in future I shift to normal bb of Airtel or Bsnl , the one time modem charges is 500-700 ( not a lot ) right ?

No idea about charges from ISP. Market cost is around 900-1000.

1) 900-1000 would that be a D-Link modem ?

2) please suggest me a good router according to my need. 1500 sq ft. Ground floor and 1st floor. Connection will be on ground.

1. D-Link/TP-Link. Beetel might be slightly cheaper at 700.

2.

Netgear also might have something. Wait for someone else to respond.

My budget is 1500 to 2200 but the signal strength should be nice . I don't want a router for storage purpose . I might get a ps4 in future. Priority is to have a router with great strength as I have a two story house.

Frankly, you can't expect to cover the entire house in that budget. It might work, might not.

The access point of TP-Link is not a standalone router right ? I think this is more like a range extender
