Soon I am changing my dataone broadband plan to unlimited so that I can connect my laptop wirelessly from anywhere in my home. Please tell me, should I buy the default type II router from BSNL or should I buy any other wifi router. Please suggest..

Thank You

I think they only exchange rented modems...I purchased my modem when I got the connection..so I don't think there is any chance of exchanging the modem with wifi modem...
