Hi Guys, I am still waiting for my triband connection since 5 months now, hopefully they have promised to do something in 20 days ! I would like to know the difference between ADSL MODEM and ADSL ROUTER. from what i understand modem can be used only with one pc and if opted for router it would offer multiple connection. I am looking for a wireless connection to my desktop and will also be using the triband on my notebook. Should I buy a Netgear wireless router and nothing else ? will it replace the ADSL ROUTER ? How does it work. I am confused. Please help. Thanks.
 
modem and router are used interchangably by a lay-man, so don bother.. u can ask MTNL to install wifi(wireless) at ur premises- a higher costing/rental - check their website for complete details. If u want to buy urself - then u've 2 options - either go for wireless router - Rs. 1800 approx (you'll require a adsl modem/router extra to connect it with wireless router) OR go for wireless ADSL router - Rs. 3700 approx(combo of both adsl modem and wireless router)....

what's the prob with mtnl mumbai?

Who said he's from Mumbai?
 
Thanks guys ! Good observation "dantool" ...Sorry forgot to mention I am at Mumbai. I am still a bit confused on exactly what equipments should i go for to minimize the use of wires. I understand I will need a base unit where my phone line can be connected to. Please explain me in a more detailed manner. Thanks for your help guys. I appreciate it.
 
You will need a splitter to be connected to the line that comes in to ur house. From the splitter, one line will go to the router and the other one to the phone.You will have to use an ADSL2 enabled Wireless Router. Your phone line will be connected to this router. And then you can connect from your laptop to the router using the regular wi-fi stuff.So the only wires would be the 3 phone wires. Thats it. Nothing else.
