A wireless router (modem) for MTNL Broadband

[AbhishekMSharma]

Need one with decent range because the one MTNL has provided (480TC1) gives very weak signal at some corners of my house.

Please suggest. Budget not very high, but I won't mind spending a few extra bucks if I'm getting a good device.

Thank you.

+1 for TP-Link. Have been using W8968, works great!

Sorry for being a noob, but what is the range in meters of TP-Link W8968 and 480TC1 (The one I use right now)?

would depend upon a lot of factors but it should be massively better than the shit mtnl gave you. so if you are already getting 90% coverage in your home, any decent router should give you 150% coverage easy.

if you want to play it safe, you can get a router in the price range of Rs. 2500-3000 with better range. More antennas = better range.

If the range can be improved significantly then I won't mind spending somewhere around 2.5K. Please suggest, I am a noob when it comes to routers and modems.

hmm. apparently these are much higher than what i was talking about. look for a deal around.

One last doubt...
If I switch to Hathway Broadband Docsis 3.0 plans, will the TP-Link router work with that too?

It should considering that the last LAN port can act as a WAN port. Better to confirm it from someone using it on a cable ISP.

Anyone here uses Hathway?
