Suggestion for Gigabit router for BSNL FTTH

[vignesh_venkatesan]

@broadbandfreak77 I have one of these at my home.
Dont ever get this.
It doesn't have custom firmware support and has horrible wifi range.
It also an older model but except for these shortcomings it's an pretty good gigabit router with great features built into it.

Alright. Any other brands worth mentioning at this price range?

Regarding the C6 Router, do I need to just connect the LAN cable between the ONT and the router and it will work straight away or do I have to change any settings in the router for the internet to work?

TP-Link archer c6 is great option.
TP-Link Archer C6 Gigabit Router Wi-Fi Dual Band AC1200 Wireless, 5 Gigabit Ports, 4 External Antennas and 1 Internal Antenna, Access Point Mode, MU-MIMO TP-Link Archer C6 Gigabit Router

Have you personally tried this archer c6 router? Is yes than how it's range and speed (specially on 2.4Ghz) ?

If your ONT is in bridge mode, you'd need to configure the PPPoE connection parameters on the new device. Depending on whether Mac binding is enabled for you, might need to clone the MAC address of the old router's WAN interface to the new device.

2.4Ghz Wifi performance and range is bit low compared to the standalone 2.4Ghz AP but 5 ghz perfomance and range is quite good.
Even in the 2.4Ghz band If ur okay with 72mbps phy speed then it's great but expecting anything above it if not in the same room then you'll be disappointed.
