Hi all,

I am planning to replace my old modem. After some research, I finalized the below two modems.
  1. TP-LINK TD-W8968 300Mbps Wireless N USB ADSL2+ Modem Router - TP-LINK : Flipkart.com
  2. *www.amazon.in/D-Link-DSL-2750U-Wireless-ADSL2-Router/dp/B007O7J026
After going through some of the threads here, example

D-Link 2750U or TP-Link TD-W8968. Pls Suggest guys.

Are there any DD-WRT or Open WRT Capable ADSL routers Selling in India?

I ruled out the D-Link-DSL-2750U.

Is there any other better modem for the price range 2000-3500 ? or TP-LINK TD-W8968 is the best model. Wifi Range and Speed are two important factors for me.

Thanks in advance.

DD-WRT does not support the standard combined ADSL modem/routers.

Ok thanks. After some research, I realised combining Modem with Router does not sound like good idea. Can you please suggest me a good router under 5000 Indian rupees. My requirement is, I need dual bandwidth(2.4 and 5 ghz) . With decent wifi coverage on 5 ghz and very good range in 2.4 ghz

I would prefer the TP Link model. 2750U is pretty old ( even though very good )
