Since it is a 300Mbps router, it is expected to have decent transfer speeds.
Personally, I had bought Tp Link W8951ND around 8 months back. Since, browsing was my primary aim, 150Mbps was more than sufficient for me. Works pretty well for my use-case scenario.

many people here don't know about tp-link but it is one of the biggest modem/router brands in the world & quality wise tp-link is better than any netgear/dlink in same price range.you can get less expensive 150mbps 1 antenna 8951 model with lesser range for ~1600-1700.
TP-LINK TD-W8951ND 150Mbps Wireless N ADSL2 Modem Router - TP-LINK: Flipkart.com

Its not an Modem+Router.
Otherwise it is good enough.

Well,Today Evening I Will Be Buying My ADSL + Router Modem And Thought To Purchase This One : TP-LINK DW8961 ADSL plus WIFI 300MBPS

Because all you insisted...well,i showed this to my dad...he said okay to this and he said that it should be best at its price and said if you can get a really BEttEr router+ADSL modem by adding few bucks(400-500) then show me that too.

so please give your views on this.

PS- i will be gaming very much wirelessly , ie, online gaming of really far servers...and VOIP calls and watching videos ofcourse..

ThankYou!

Go for the TP-LINK one only. Its a bang for buck proposition.

Well,Will It Allow Me To Play Online Games Without Lag When Playing Wirelessly , Heavy Downloading(mostly torrents) , watching live online hd videos , and making VOIP calls via skype.?

ThankYou!
