When i saw iball baton modem wifi router, some people said that Belkin n150 has connection drops often, in flipkart. Is it true?? Which is best Belkin n150 or iball baton n150??
Sorry I took so long to reply. I'm sorry I've never seen the iBall Baton N150 so I won't be able to comment on it but my Belkin N150 never has any connection drops, and its on 24x7.
A good choice for all in one. D-Link makes some stable hardwares.
Just ensure that you are on the latest firmware for any router or modem. The hardware usually ships with older firmwares.
A firmware update fixes a lot of issues.
That is true, but never buy the DSL 2730u (which is in the Belkin N150's price range) I had it once and the range is absolutely pathetic.........

sorry for jumping on the thread. I have an oldish DSL-502T ADSL modem+router in working order (touchwood) for almost 7 years now.
The only issue with the DSL-502T is it has only a single ethernet port (and one USB port) . From what little I have seen of D-Link's site lately it seems they have stopped manufacturing the 2/4 port ADSL modem + routers that they were doing before.
The only issue with this I face is it gets heated in anywhere between 12/24 hours and loses connection. Then I disconnect and connect again in another 20 minutes when it cools down and it's ready to service for another 12/24 hours. I'm thinking to buy a lappy in next couple of months so having a second port would be good.
I am not so bent about wireless as I'll have to make it secure and generally would have to take a bit more responsibility then I would like to take. With ethernet outside people can't get access (arguably the best access control policy) . Just my 2 paise in the ring. Looking forward to recommendations. Brownie points if they can work with dd-wrt/tomato and easily purchasable in the market.

There are two options that you can use.
1) Get hold of a WiFi modem which has 4 port LAN and RJ-11 for WAN. This router/modem will also have WiFi as an additional feature. You can connect upto 4 devices via Ethernet wiring and rest via WiFi (smartphones for eg.)
Choices in these are:
TP LINK 150Mbps Wireless N ADSL2+ Modem | Router | Flipkart.com
D-Link DSL-2730U Wireless N 150 ADSL2+ 4-Port Router | Router | Flipkart.com
TRENDnet 300 Mbps Wireless N ADSL 2/2+ Modem Router | Router | Flipkart.com
2) Use a single port ADSL modem like you are doing presently. And connect it to a 4port or 8port ethernet switch. This will allow you to connect 4/8 machines to the ADSL modem. This will allow wired access amongst all local PC's/Laptops.
Choices for plain ADSL modem are:
D-Link DSL-2520U ADSL2+ Ethernet/USB Combo Router | Router | Flipkart.com
Digisol ADSL2/2+ Broadband Router | Router | Flipkart.com
Iball ADSL2+ Router | Router | Flipkart.com
TP LINK ADSL2+ Ethernet/USB Modem Router | Router | Flipkart.com
Choices for Ethernet Switch are:
TP LINK 8-Port 10/100Mbps Desktop | Network Switch | Flipkart.com
D-Link 5-Port Unmanaged Switch | Network Switch | Flipkart.com
D-Link 8-Port Unmanaged Standalone Switch | Network Switch | Flipkart.com
TP LINK 5-Port 10/100Mbps Desktop | Network Switch | Flipkart.com
D-Link and TP-Link are good enough for most purposes.
Finding dd-wrt combo for ADSL+Wifi is difficult. Most firmware updates are available for plain WiFi routers only.
