I am using it with Cable Broadband. Works absolutely fine for me.
The USB feature is really helpful. Helps in wireless sharing of USB storage device and printer as well.

And yes, get it from PayTM, the net price (after cashback) is cheaper than other sites.

I had ordered it from PayTM and I received the v4 version.

v4 is the latest version. In the previous version i.e v3, out of the 2 antennas only one used to transmit and the other was just dummy. In v4 both transmit.
This is a Modem cum Router, so DDWRT is not possible. DDWRT is for routers only.

For basic broadband usage, its absolutely fine.
However if you want features like torrent client, etc, this router wont help. You need to purchase a DDWRT compatible router.

Don't buy W8968 for cable broadband.
It's pathetic.

Buy only for ADSL
