New MTNL Connection Help

[sachinc]

I am taking a new MTNL connection, need some help on the following: 1. Was thinking on going in for the wireless router ( I believe a wireless router should have one wired port as well) so I plan to connect my desktop and laptop as well. Now the MTNL guy told me that their wireless modems are not good. Plz suggest which is the right modem to go in for. 2. Whats the range usually of a wireless modem 3. Can I set up the modem for the laptop myself, i mean is it eay to do to set it up urself:thumbsup:

You can go for any of1) Netgear DG834GV or DG834Gv5 : Rs.32492) Linksys WAG54G2: Rs 2500Both these models are wireless ADSL2+ modem router. These models have 4 ethernet ports each. So you can choose to connect your desktop directly and your laptop wirelessly, that is if you do not wish to buy a wifi USB adaptor to connect your desktop wirelessly.A typical wireless router has a range of 32 m (120 ft) indoors and 95 m (300 ft) outdoors. These vary according to the types of antennas used in the router.Finally, there should not be a problem in configuring the router all by yourself. The manuals are usually more thn enough to help you. If you still need help these forums are always there for you.

AFAIK the Linksys WAG54G2 is only a wireless router and does not contain a ADSL modem. I guess you mean the WAG200G which costs about Rs 3500/-

It does have an inbuilt ADSL2+ modem. I think earlier someone else also had a doubt on another thread. Linksys.com ? Products/Wireless/Basic Networking/Gateways: Broadband Routers with Modems/Wireless-G (802.11g)/WAG54G2

I see that the WRT54G2 is around the price you have mentioned but I don't see the WAG54G2 available at Rs 2500
