Rep Power: 12 | A modem and router are two different things and you cannot substitute one for the other. There are modems with inbuilt routers. A modem is a necessity for your connection and a router would facilitate in connecting multiple computers either wired or if you have a wifi router then wirelessly but you would also need wireless LAN cards in your computers if you want a wireless connection. |

Rep Power: 12  | usually Airtel supplies an ADSL modem or a 3-in1 Wireless ( adslmodem+router+WIFI) on a NON refundable deposit of Rs 1000/= and Rs 1500/= respectively. No Monthly rent charged. Modem replaced/updated with later models, in case of complaints. Usually Beetel 110BX1( almost same as UT300r2U of BSNL) or Beetel 450TC1 ( same as Utstar WA3002-G1) If you have a Laptop, you may like to use it in the house anywhere ( to BB without any wires ) So choice is yours. Buy an adsl modem for Rs 1300 onwards and a wifi router for about Rs 1500 onwards, or buy a 3-in 1 for about Rs 3000/= and above. For ref: Bsnl supplied modems Cost Rs 1000 and Rs 1600 + taxes  Enter in SEARCH ( google) box in this page top : Buffalo modem ( recommended ) modem |
