I want a Wi-Fi Adapter for my desktop so that I can use Wi-Fi.
I searched and found that wireless adapters are good adapters.
Is that so?
And I am also thinking of buying this router because I use Mblaze.
TP-LINK TL-MR3220 3G/4G Wireless N Router - TP-LINK: Flipkart.com
So in short, I will connect my Mblaze to this router and then use Wi-Fi.
My budget is less than Rs.1000 :oops:

As in the reviews people are saying that it can also be used to create Wi-Fi hotspot, so should I buy the router I mentioned above or just buy this only?

No I have to buy a router because my sister uses her laptop and she mostly stays on the first floor.So I can't keep my desktop ON everytime. :p
I have one more question about the router. In TP-Links website I saw the supported device's list, I found my model but with it is V2 is written in brackets.How do I know if my Mblaze is V2 or not.Nothing is written on box also. :/

Here is the link 3G/4G USB Modem Compatibility List for TL-MR3220 - Welcome to TP-LINK
My model is MTS AC2787.
But as I said in the site V2 is also written.

TL-MR3220 - Welcome to TP-LINK

V2 there means the router version compatible with your MTS... It has nothing do to with your USB Modem version..check the above link and it will be clear

Okay that means my Mblaze would work with it.
By the way how do I know the range of router I mentioned.
SUPPORTED PROTOCOLS
Standard IEEE 802.3u, IEEE 802.11b/g/n, IEEE 802.3
It is mentioned here I guess but which one? Or if I am wrong then tell me. :p

Same here not much idea about the range with those protocols :D but I think it would easily pass 2walls in the direction of the antenna (not very sure). Go though the reviews on Flipkart and you will get an idea
