Planning for a new connection.

Yes, that is the normal price for a 150 n wifi router. Depends on what wifi router bsnl provides you with. The terracom one is pretty good.

Sorry, but i can't understand you. What's a router?
Bsnl is not providing modems anymore, that's why i decided to buy it from a retail shop. .. Now your post has just confused me....
 
Please confirm you have a BSNL Landline based Broadband connection now.
(2) You are using an ADSL modem to connect to Internet.
( model make immaterial )
(3) You need a WIFI ROUTER which when connected to the ADSL modem
allows us to use systems in WIFI mode( laptops smartphones etc )
Minimum price starts at about Rs 1500/= Netgear WGR 614 V9)
ASUS RT-N10 150Mbps Wireless N Router RT-N10 WIFI ROUTER HIGH SPEED GOOD RANGE | eBay

IF Not
You need a 3-in 1 ADSl modem +4lan port +wifi router
models starting around Rs 2500/= ( TP-Link Iball Baton D-Link models )
For price reference :
adsl modem wifi router | eBay

If the radius of WIFI activity is more ( say about 60 feet radius ), you may have to
buy a model having multiple antennae and higher output.

Ok, so I'll explain it in very simple terms. A router is like a distribution point. You've seen a modem right ? Its got this LAN port. One end of the LAN cable is then plugged into this port. Now, you've got the other free end, right ? This can be plugged into a computer. But what if you've got to distribute your internet connection among a number of machines. This is where a router comes into play. Now instead of plugging the free end of the LAN cable into a computer you plug it into the wan port of the router. The router has a number of LAN ports, say x, which can be used to connect x number of machines via a cat5/LAN cable. Additionally a wifi router can convert your internet into wireless signals. I called up the jto, he told me that they still stock modems/routers over at my place's exchange.The rest has been explained by essbebe.
 
If you asked me to confirm what connection i use now, thinking how i connect to the web to make the posts here, i should say, i'm through my Sony ericsson w595 on GPRS. I'm planning to take a broadband connection. So,1. I've a Bsnl landline connection.2. I'm planning to buy a sony ericsson Xperia ray smart phone so, i need an internet connection that should be accessible through my PC (which doesn't have any wireless recievers; only has an ethernet port on the motherboard) and the proposed Sony Ericsson Xperia ray (which is a wifi enabled handset.). So, what kind of modem should i buy? Should i need a router as well to connect the Xperia ray to the modem?3. The range i'd like the network to cover is LESS than 60ft.I don't know the difference between a wifi modem and wifi router. That's the reason of all this mayhem! Please, the moderator comment on this keeping in mind all my requirements that are mentioned above.Btw, thank you x720
 
Its like this either you buy a adsl2+ modem seperately and then a D-Link or TP-Link wifi router. Or you buy a modem/wifi router combo (something like an all in one).Take it like this, the modem converts your internet into something that can be read by the computer, a router merely distributes that converted signal.

Sounds like an old school method. :)

So, is this the type of the modem i mentioned earlier that the dealer told me it costs 2500?
 
Just inquiring if there's any
