So that mean you already have a modem. Okay check TP Link N150 on ebay.in for INR 1176/-

Best deal I think.

You can consider Asus N13. You'll get a USB port in your router which you can be use as a mini-cloud in your home network.
In future, if you buy a 3G data card, you can insert it in the USB slot of the router and connect via Wi-Fi.
Costs 3k, but I think it's worth the price.

You can get a modem-cum-WiFi-router. No hassles of using a separate modem and router.
Get the ones from TP-Link. They are cheap and VFM products IMO.

1. You can always sell the switch or if you are like me then you will keep it and use it for some of your experiments. What is the interface speed of your switch, 100 mbps or 1gbps?

If it is 1 gbps then keep it to share files over LAN otherwise sell it.
If you want to buy just a router then go for TP-Link or anything but if you wanna buy a Modem/Router then IMHO you should choose ASUS.

2. If you just wanna use internet on mobile through wi-fi then why not use your LapTop's wi-fi adapter as hotspot? So easy to do in Win 7, even some apps can do this for you. Provided that you do have a wi-fi capable laptop.
This would be the cheapest option.

Don't worry about connection limit. I have a 4 Mbps connection and sometime 6 devices use my connection simultaneously over wi-fi.

Thanks you all Digitians

Is D-Link DIR-615 Wireless-N 300 Router and D-Link DSL-2730U Wireless N 150 ADSL2+ 4-Port Router a good product? and what is difference between both?

The first one is just a router(you need to connect it to a modem to browse internet) and supports 300 mbps wireless transfer standard, the second one is modem cum router(built in modem) with 150 mbps wireless speed. The actual speed will depend on your wireless card too.
It's up to you which one you wanna buy.

After survey i think Asus DSL-N10 Wireless-N ADSL Modem Router is best and its installation is also hassle free.

The IP Address your'e getting from your ISP is dynamic(changes frequenly based on availability).

Lease Obtained - it says when ur router got the IP address .
Lease Expires - when the IP will expire.
And when it expires it will get a new one automatically.
So, no probs.

Hey guys Does Asus DSL N10 heats up quickly? if it does are there any chances of damaging the LAN ports or WAN ports and how to reduce heating i don't have Air conditioner.

It does heat up, but i have not faced any issues so far and it is running 24*7(no AC). I updated the firmware to 1.0.2.5 but haven't seen any noticeable difference.
