hello friends,
i need a wifi modem(i dont really know the difference between modem, router)...i am weak in networking..
i have a modem which i got from BSNL, and i want to replace it with wifi modem(or router) which can provide internet connection over wifi...using my current modem always requires me to click on connect button, then it connects to the internet, pls tell me something which can be turned on for whole day providing internet.
range should be about 20-25 m atleast...
thank you.

TP-LINK TD-W8968 (ADSL modem + WiFi router)
I have been using it for more than a year. You can use it even if u change internet provider in future.

WOW, W8968 seems so popular. But a lot of W8968 face serious issues with it v2. TP-Link has already released v3 of this modem. Does anyone know about availability of the same.
