97 viewes and no replies. i am sure someone must have an idea. for long range routers

router range depends on many factors like construction material,design of the house,presence of glass windows etc.same router which works perfectly in one house will work poorly in another house of same area but with different construction materials/design.only thing you can do is either test an average router in your house to get some idea or buy the costliest router possible in your budget(for under 6000 i suggest tp-link or asus preferably with detachable antennas so you can have the option of replacing antenna with more powerful one to increase range if need arise).

got a netgear dgn1000 that i am using right now and it provides limited range. looking for atleast twice the range

not sure(like i earlier said range depend on many factors) but to get twice the range you have to get a 3 antenna wifi router(no adsl) like this & may have to purchase powerful external antenna to further boost the range:
TP-Link : TL-WR941ND : 300Mbps Wireless N Router - www.deltapage.com
TP-LINK TL-ANT2408CL 2.4GHz 8dBi Indoor Omni-directional Antenna | eBay

i have mtnl broadband hence i looking for an adsl router upgrade. i have set my eyes on tplinks w8970 and/or w8980. personally i think w8970 will suffice my requirements. if not then i might have to change the antenna's to 8dbi like you mentioned.

your thoughts?

availability of W8970 might be an issue & also it will cost ~5500 at least(based on international price in $) but it looks good.

5.5 is within my budget . about the availibility. i have been told to expect the w8970 in may by tp-link themselves

Get a WiFi range extender, repeater. Should increase the WiFi coverage.

i just want one device to cover the entire house instead of setting AP or adding repeaters but thanks for you input
