Don't be ridiculous. I don't use Rs. 15k router. I use this ASUS RT-AC68U I had already offered my 2 yr old Asus RT-N56U for sale Rs. 3000. But no one seems to be bothered.kartoonz said:holy crap.... you guys are using a 6k and 15k modem....
1) Run speedtests and see if you are getting a download speed between 7-8 Mbps.2) You will never know how the modem performs until you use it on your OWN line. But general consensus here is TP-Link TD8817 performs well under 2 km and beyond 2 km, D-Link 2520U with broadcom chipset does well. Both are modem only. Report your ADSL stats like SNR Margin, Attenuation and CRC errors for us to help. If you ask me, I prefer these cheap modems and put them under bridge mode so they stay dumb. The main connection PPPoE dialing should be done by a reasonably good Router from reputed brand. I have had some horrible luck with ADSL modem cum wifi router combo. Those are generally low on processing power and fail to handle ADSL + Wifi + Ethernet LAN all at the same time. They usually hang often requiring us to power cycle them at increasing intervals in their life.bone_china said:Guys, I have applied for the MTNL DSL_8Mbps_1750 plan which is supposed top get activated tomorrow i.e 01 Jan 2014. I download lots of HD movie and TV series torrents. Previous to this I have been on the Xpress_UL_Combo_1550 and have used many of the 2 MBPS MTNL plans over the last few years. In general I have been happy with the services of MTNL. I stay behind Citylight Cinema, Mahim, which is approx 1.2 km from Shivaji Park Telephone exchange. I have been reading with great interest some of the comments on this plan. It seems people have had mixed experiences. I am keeping my fingers crossed and hoping I get good speeds. Since I stay further than the 1 km radius I am expecting some deterioration in speeds at my residence - but hoping it does not fall below 6.5 Mbps. I will run speedtest and post results once the plan is working. I have some questions to some of the experts on this forum, sanke1 and kartoonz and others:1) are there any tests (other than speedtest) to determine everything is working as it should be2) MTNL has supplied me with Binatone DM 856W wireless modem. It is quite crappy - I get very weak signal in the next room. MTNL has given me the option of buying any modem of my choice from the market and returning the Binatone. Can you guys make suitable recomendations for a superb modem for a 4 room house (700 sq feet) - cost is not an issue. Thanks in advance to everyone for their help. Best regardsbone_china
Your ADSL modem should be cheapest but must support ADSL 2+ Annex M modulation.kartoonz said:i thought i would get that but it costs 2.5k and i just wanted to rule out mtnl modem fault first before i invest in a expensive modem...
