I would recommend the Belkin playmax.
it's got a great range, much better than my Belkin Share.
Plus the speeds i am getting are better too.
I am getting a 72mpbs connection speed.
Though the router is quite expensive.
I picked it up for around 6K odd

Yes surf router is cheaper compared to modem + router. Price you quoted is correct for router.

Did it cost close to 5K, what were the other options that you looked at. Just did a search on Flipkart and the top ones listed are Belkin, Cisco and Netgear. Which one you reckon will have wider range and more Wifi speed?

Hi whats the range like, in an 3BHK apartment is the signal available on every corner of the house (irrespective of the walls)?

It claims that the range is the best possible.

Do you have two Belkins, and if yes which one you find better in terms of range and speed. Is this the one you bought

Any feedback on Asus RT-N56U? Also, please let me know any place to buy in Chennai or any good online sources to buy this.

I have found Office Duniya - IT Needs...Simplified - OfficeDuniya has this product for Rs. 8749/-. How reliable is this place to buy online?

Regards

I just ordered a Asus RT-N16 router for Rs5575 from ebay.

Have been using BSNL UTStarcom wifi router and serves me really well. Just no disconnections.

Sorry was away for a bit! It Costed close to 6K. I pretty much zeroed in on the Belkin's having used a few in the past. And am very happy with their range and quality.
I have not tried the Cisco or Netgear. But can vouch that the Belkin will not let you down. It's got fantastic range and great speeds too.
there is a clear difference between the share and playmax versions. The playmax having dual antennas makes a difference in the range as well as speed offered in the same room. So would highly recommend the playmax over the share.
Another difference is that the share has only one USB slot, whereas the Playmax has 2. So you can hook up a External hard drive and other gear as well.

Yes have the share and the playmax HD both. I bought them from croma as i got a good deal on then.

I am finding it difficult to get Wifi Coverage around my house (a flat) with a single modem/router. Any suggestions?

By another wifi router and link them through an ethernet cable.
I did the same at my parents whose home is split on 3 levels. They now get coverage on every floor. Even the Terrace on top.

How big is your flat and what exactly is the problem being faced ?

Where is the router located currently ?

If you want aWifi Modem with 4Lan slot one VOIP slot one USB slot and also a WLAN,then go for the Fujian Starnet's AR*))V modem available only from BSNL. The price is of a throw away Rs 1800. I am not sure whether they will sell to Non BSNL Broadband users.

I think the problem is not the distance (its max 10-20m) I think the problem is with the pillars of the room.

Position the modem in a way that its not sitting in a corner with both sides against the wall.

Identify an area in your apartment from where you get max field of vision of the whole apartment. That point or a nearby area is the best place to keep the modem. Also if it has 2 arial keep one vertical and the other horizontal.

I changed the channel. That improved the strength. Will hold on to this exercise for some time and monitor.
The problem is I cant place it at the best possible location as that is far away from the phone connection.
