Please don't call anyone sir here we r all friends
The 1st router is good one but it is used & others r G=54Mbps routers & the one i recommended to is N btw it won't make much of a difference for surfing net out of them the linksys one is best & reliable

As that linksys one is a G router, and G technology is almost obsolete all over the world, so its price is less. So no reason to suspect.

G is not 'obsolete'. Atleast 50% people use G routers. And NONE of my wifi devices support N.

The diff is that n is just much better. Better range and speed (over LAN). Dual band have better interference protection

Answer lies in my last post.

N has
Better range and speed (over LAN). Dual band have better interference protection

G has cheaper models.

So depends on your willingness to spend.

Then wireless G routers will serve the purpose for you.

the seller confused me. help me out. :(

first thing first, currently i'm operating internet through my adsl modem. now i want to sell it and buy that linksys wireless G router(Wireless Router G Linksys by CISCO WRT54GH 1Yr Warranty | eBay).
so is there anything else i will need to create wifi zone in my room + lan connection in my desktop apart from this router?

this was seller reply
the router will not connect to your network but it will make your current internet connection accessible wireless, means it will make WiFi in your home. With that you can access internet on your iPOD or PSP or any other device.
