Hi Friends



I currently resides at mumbai and at home i have mtnl`s broadband connection with adsl modem provided with them.My pc is connected to modem through ethernet wire and its old modem and doesnot have wifi capacity.Now issue is this.

My pc is kept in an wooden cabinet so probably new wifi modem would be kept at same location.

Now issue i want to have wifi connection at in a room which is 2 blocks away from current room.

for eg A (ME) | B | C | D (Need wireless here).One apartment/house .A minimum of three concrete walls + other obstacles.

May be point D is 20 to 30 m away.


Would it be possible for me to use wifi service in D block on laptop and other devices probably mobiles.

Would only wifi modem suffice or i have to use modem plus router and any other devices

If yes which company i should go for (with model name /no) Or not then suggest me an alternative solution.

Also i have to use my new wifi modem with my old pc which can only have wired connection.


Regards

you need an adsl wifi router like tp-link w8968,8951 or 8961.8968 is best because it also has 3g usb modem support for just ~500 more.for range most likely the default antennas will not be enough so you can either get a wifi repeater or you can buy more powerful antennas like this one to replace the default antennas.

I am too planning to buy it.
Please do post a review particularly on it's range.
Or a short abstract.

Need to look out if it can provide omnidirectional range in 100 ft
