Best WiFi Router Modem ADSL for BSNL Broadband Connection Selection Criteria

• Should be cost effective
• Easy to configure by user with minimal computer knowledge
• Maximum speed of your BSNL Connection
  •  ADSL     WAN link it will be ~8 Mbps
  • ADSL2+ WAN link it will be 24 Mbps
  • Hence a 150 Mbps single 5 dBi antenna or dual antenna shall be sufficient for your need
  • In case you have bigger home or more number of users then you can go for a 300 Mbps is needed.
    Now remember 300 Mbps does not mean that you will get that much internet speed ! it means it can handle that much data at a time, so if you are connecting say your TV to mobile through WiFi network it can handle video traffic etc. So internet speed will still be governed by the BSNL Broadband connection speed and not the router speed 150 Mbps or 300 Mbps!
• Should support basic security features which enables smooth and secure upload and download of photos, music, movies, files, games, internet calls and e-mailing.

• Do my router need an USB slot?

  Yes now a days its important and useful if you have USB slot to WiFi router, it will be useful for devices such as Printers which are not wireless but has USB input port, you can directly connect them to the router or one more use is to connect an external USB hard drive, and share files and storage space across your WiFi home network.

Tip : Multiple Antenna and High Speed are marketing gimmicks 😛 Most of all it is limited by the bandwidth of service provider [In this case BSNL]
