Hi Friends,
I am Dilmeet from India and currently looking to buy a router within Rs 3000/- (equivalent to US 60$ or 40 GBP). I currently have a NetGear Router WNR 2000 which I bought few months ago for 97$ after reading the review from here and I am totally disappointed with the overall performance of the same as it provides horrible range and connectivity in my single floor flat which has 2 small rooms and 1 hall where the router is there. Currently I use it for browsing on my Dell Studio 15 which has n compatible, my desktop to which it is connected via ethernet cable and my Nokia E72 that is max G certified. On my laptop the connection drops are frequent and speed too is an issue while my E72 is just shows me that there is a device with network name that's it. Browsing is slower as compared to EDGE network though I have a 1mbps plan so unable to use wi fi on that( I have checked the performance on other g series routers and it works flawlessly). Just the desktop PC is running fine which is bad considering my modem which I got from my ISP used to serve the same purpose. I updated it to latest firmware (which was a pain too) but its still useless as a wireless router. So I am planning to change the same. But since my budget is limited this time I have a limited options from Netgear, Linksys, Belkin, D-link, Edimax and ASUS. While in my range I won't go for Netgear because of the terrible experience so far other routers from manufacturer's like Belkin, Edimax, D-link, Linksys are way to costly at the same price point of 97$ apporx while g series are available. However from ASUS I get NT13U which has bit torrent client and USB and a low price of 58$ and the review too is good as compared to Netgear WNR 2000. So kindly suggest some good wireless routers within 60$ with use as I mentioned of desktop, Laptop and Mobile connectivity within before-metioned premises so that I can surf and get good range and also is future proof to some extent as in standards.
Thanks in advance
