This is what I did.. I called the dealer on phone and told him about the consumer forum thing as well as prevalent rates. Although initialy he was a little adamant but later he did agree to take it back. :-) so now i am a little more happy. I request members to post the prices at which they purchase the routers for all others to know ... thank you all.. :)
 
Yep!!! Kind of... I got Rs 750/- back, along with Linksys AM300 Router. Dunno whats the 'Correct Price' ;) of this router. But I think it is better to have a Linksys AM300-in perfectly working condition (it looks way more sleek than 'dabba' look of D-Link) for 2950/- than getting stuck with DLink modem for 3700/- which dint work. ;)Yep!!!

Hi cpyder! Yup... you have done a correct thing and yes! now he has given you the "correct price". ;) Believe me, D-Link is not SO bad but hey.. I must also agree that Linksys rocks!!! :)

The only catch with Linky is after sells service... It sucks. :(
 
I got the same modem for 1715 from a dealer. LEt me know if you need details..

I purchased a D-Link GLB-502T ADSL Router from a dealer in Pune recently. Though, initialy he told me that D-Link modems have some problems and didnt suggest me that earlier. But later on he said that that was the case with duplicate DLInk modems which had flooded the market and now he has been able to get an original one. With that he sold one router to me for 3700 bucks (incl taxes). But now almost everyone tells me its almost double the market price and the price is around 2000/- only. Have I been taken for a ride? I am not disclosing the name of the dealer yet. Also i would request readers and members to please update the forum with the latest prices etc so that nobody else is duped of his hard earned money.

Thanks amit, I knew that even 2950/- was a high price for Linky, but given the conditions I was cought in I think what i did was the best i could do. Moreover, at that time there were no other routers, of any make were available at least in Pune. Anyways, the details are welcome.. and so far as after sales service is concerned,,, well , i just hope I dont need ;) and btw I am abusing this Linky thing for last 3 weeks. It has been working tirelessly 24x7 since the time it has taken its place next to my PC without any complain. It hasnt got even an hour's rest ever since. Thanks to it, I have downloaded three linux distros that too DVD images.
 
Maybe.. my dealer admitted to selling the Linksys at a higher price than normal (coz supposedly he got at higher price). Thats why.

I just purchased Wireless Router for Rs 3300/- from TP-Link at Pune.[/b]


Well,
I guess u hv got BSNL there, right !!!

and instead of spending or rather i should i say wasting your 3300 bucks, u should have bought TYPE- 4 modem cum wifi-router from BSNL for just 1800.

the modem is: MT-841

here's the router link:

here in delhi,
we don't have BSNL,
so i bought Netgear wifi router for Rs. 2350 two months back, but i have to connect it to my airtel 220-BX modem,
so you see i run 2 things to get wifi and internet on my PC (you do the same too i guess), but with bsnl in just Rs.1800 you get two things running in just one hardware/piece.

I didn't knew about this BSNL router thing before, otherwise i also could have bought the router from BSNL,
'coz i think this router isn't available in market.

If sm1 is looking to get WiFi-ed in future, follow my advice and buy bsnl type-4 modem-cum-router.
