Hi guys I'm using Airtel broadband in my PC. I want to setup Wi-Fi in my home which is 2500sqft. I really confused whether to take router alone or along with modem. My personal need is to connect internet and file sharing to laptop,tablet and my mobile

My budget is 3000 and can be extend upto 1000.

if you already have a modem then just get the router but if modem is on rent then get this which is adsl modem+router & it also supports 3g usb modems & usb sharing:
TP-LINK TD-W8968 300 Mbps Wireless N USB ADSL2+ Modem Router - TP-LINK: Flipkart.com
if you just want a router with no extra bells & whistles then get this:
TP-LINK TL-WR841N 300Mbps Wireless N Router - TP-LINK: Flipkart.com

Even I'l Suggest TP-LINK TL-WR841N

does wifi cause any side effects, especially to childrens.

How many floors are there in your house? For just the ground floor, TP-Link will suffice. If you have first floor too, I suggest Asus RT-N16. Its range is better than any TP-Link model. I'm using this myself personally after using many other Wi-Fi routers with short range.

ground and 1st floor.

the range of W8968 can be increased by replacing detachable default antennas by these 8dBi antennas:
TP-LINK TL-ANT2408CL 2.4GHz 8dBi Indoor Omni-directional Antenna | eBay

yesterday ordered tp-link-w8968 from flipkart for 2232/-

do post your experience here & also about signal range.

Yeah sure

Got the tp link w8968 yesterday
