A couplet of modem issues (disconnection & change-over to wifi)

I think you should go in for a 2-1 unit which supports g/n. A '2-1' unit has less cables going around. :)

2-in-1 as in 'modem+router' single-unit, isn't it? yes i agree with your point, since cable-management is a heavy priority too for me. the back of my desk looks like yesteryear's anil kapoor's chest!

though let us wait a while for what x720 also suggests, esp. regarding the worth/capability of a 2-in-1 unit as compared to a wired modem + separate router combo :)
 
I always prefer to keep the modem and router seperate because in the case of a failure, I'll have to replace only one unit. After all, its only one extra lan cable and a power cable. I'm not very about whether it provides any performance benefit. I've been using a combo of beetel 110TC1 and the Asus RT N13U for my bsnl connection and a Buffalo WHR-G300N for my ftth connection, haven't had amy issues so far. Both routers cover my place sufficiently. I can only imagine you wanting to sell the equipment in the event that you decide to switch to cable internet, having a standalone router would help as it can be used with any connection. You, then, would only have to sell the 410TC1. Since, the RT N13U supports 3G/EVDO dongles, I guess, you wouldn't find the need to sell it.
