Hi guys i am using DATAONE broadband... and i am using the ASL modem from them with Wifi ...USB and lan... now i want to connect my LAPTOP and my desktop together and also want to be able to access internet on both of them. I have heard that there is a Dlink ADSL + Wireless router which can help me in doing this...

I have recently purchased Netgear wireless modem router DG834v3 (Rs.3276) and have been using it with Dataone to link my Wireless enabled DELL laptop.It has been functioning without any problems. I am linking my Media center PC in the living room also using D-link DWL- G122 USB wireless adapter (Rs.1259).From my experience I would suggest that you go in for the Netgear wireless modem router.Nice looking and good performance too.8)8)

yep@ajayasish it should be possible to share files using this setup for sure.. In fact it is with that intention that I have installed the netgear DG834G.I have as a first step successfully achieved internet sharing.There are a lot of articles on setting up a homenetwork to share files amongst the computers connected to the network. I am yet to put my head into it due to my other preoccupations.May be such info is already available in the Digit forum itself. I will also be glad if someone gives a step by step procedure for creating such homenetwork for file sharing or give useful links..I am not a networking expert and at the moment too lazy and time-starved to put my head into it.:)

It should work.Because ADSL modem+router support DSL technology..and BSNL use DSL technology for its broadband service.

yaa I can understand these BSNL guys. Best thing is to take wi-fi modem-cum router on rental from BSNL only.

Well I cant say anything about BSNL, but when I was in Airtel BB...we have a modem-cum ADSL router (BX440)..and it works fine.
This modem can be used to connect 12 wireless system and 4 system through LAN at the same time.

@ajayasish, I am using the Netgear DG834G Wireless modem cum Router with BSNL Dataone connection.In my first post I had mentioned it clearly. No problems and setting it up for dataone connection is easy.But I do not understand why you need USB connectivity.Does not your PC have a network card or your motherboard a built-in ethernet port?

No i just wanted to check if that has a USB ... LAN will work for me as long as i can share interent simultaneouly on both the machines connected and also share files among both of them.

@nix why r u giving half-baked and confusing information? Are you using a cable modem or ADSL modem? Why don't you give the linksys model number so that anyone can check?And why don't you check with manufacturer's product information specification and give concrete information whether it is a ADSL2+ modem or not?Your post leads nowhere.And what is network ket?
