Please Suggest a 802.11 g/n series router

I use BSNL Broadband connection at my home. I use a laptop and plan to switch to wifi connectivity. Presently i have a huawei MT882 Modem. I was looking for a decent g/n series router from Linksys/Netgear/D-link. I had the following questions in my mind

a) Will i be able to use my present MT882 Modem ?
b) Should i really go for a n-series router ?
c) Will i be needing any access points for full connectivity in my home ? (Coverage area is around 1500 sq. ft. )

It'll be better if the router has a USB port as well. ( not necessary)

Kindly help me with my queries and suggest a router / router+modem as well.

Budget : <2.5k

Thanks

I'll strongly suggest Linksys WAG54G2 because of it's very simple interface and very good range. It is an ADSL + Wifi router. [one device for everything] It costs around 2.6k.

I have the very same router and I'm hugely satisfied with it. There are no Wifi connection drops.

There are options from Netgear and D-Link too, but the Push buttons of Netgear go kaput after 9-10 months of use. D-link doesn't have a very good interface.

Wifi n is not needed for you. They'll be more expensive and will cost certainlymore than your budget. Wifi b/g is more than enough.

Thanks fr ur reply..
But It doesnt have USB Support. IF i dont go for USB port then WRT54G2 is equally good i guess.. available for 2.7k

This device seems to be good as well as it has inbuilt ADSL. I also went through an ASUS product wl520gu.. Pls check it out. Seems gud to me
