I have a BSNL Broadband connection.
I have been using Huwaei MT841 ADSL Modem(supplied by BSNL).

This modem giving me some problems.
So I want to buy a new ADSL modem with good Wi Fi

Which ADSL modem would be suitable?

I would like to buy an ADSL modem with Wifi, preferably from Linksys,Netgear, DLink etc.

Can anybody please post the model number of a good ADSL wireless modem?

It would also useful if that modem is compatible with Tomato or DD-wrt firmwares.

Thanks a lot for the replies.

What is the major difference between D-Link DSL-2730U and D-Link DSL-2750U other than the wireless speeds?

I don't think so.. USB port is for connectivity just like the ethernet ports..
