Urgently need new long range router

I urgently need a router for my home (2000 sqft 2 floors)... It needs to be long range... The current one I have (Huawei WA1003A) is not good enough for signal strength in many parts of the house...

I would like a router with inbuilt modem...

My budget is around Rs. 4k

If possible, I would like one that can be upgraded to maybe DD-WRT or Orange firmware... They have the necessary features I want...

The router should be 802.11n preferably... and I'd prefer one with multiband (2.4 and 5 GHz)

I'm looking at the following right now Flipkart Compare

Please recommend...

Thanks a lot in advance...

first of all dd-wrt or any other custom firmware works only on routers not router with inbuilt modem.

okay... let me skip out on the dd-wrt then...

now, which one would you all suggest?

ok... how about this router... TD-W8961ND

get W8968 which has extra features like usb & 3g usb modem support.
TP-LINK TD-W8968 300 Mbps Wireless N USB ADSL2+ Modem Router - TP-LINK: Flipkart.com

thanks for that recommendation... I'm buying that one itself... (TD-W8968)... Ordered it off flipkart...
