Thread: Linksys Wireless WAG160N for BSNL ?

I am planning to buy Linksys Wireless WAG160N. It seems to come with the ADSL modem.Can someone please confirm whether this will work with my BSNL BB connection.
And also whether this is worth buying .Seems great with the 802.11n support.
Expert opinion needed before i put so much money for buying this.

I have BSNL BB. I have just gone in for Linksys WAG120N (ADSL2+ Modem Router WiFi) over WAG160N, value for money which met all my requirements as a home user.

There are no problems or compatibility issues. However BSNL BB has its own problems (frequently unresolved), like frequent internet connection loss or DSL light flickering. These problems will be there with any brand modem/router. I changed 3 brands (ADSL Modem/Router) and the problem does not go away even with their own supplied CPE (customer premises equipment).

BSNL tech support is generally not uptodate with technology and hence keep recommending specific brands/models, without any real basis.

Coming back to Linksys for home use. WAG120N is much cheaper than WAG160N. Nehru Place price is 3400/- vs over 6000/- for the two models. Unless you want to wirelessly play games between two laptops/desktops within the same house ( ), I would recommend WAG120N over WAG160N.

Installation was a breeze. Loaded the CD and followed simple steps and the internet was up and running.

BSNL tech support hesitates in giving you userID/password, something that is rightfully yours and cannot be denied. They even give you incomplete/incorrect information. This is ostentatiously to maintain their re-call value.

I recently bought the Belkin F7D1401 modem router for better network coverage in my house and it promises 300m, but the network coverage is worse then the BSNL DataOne modem router.
And there are frequent connection drop outs which I did not face earlier with my old modem. I am stuck don't know what to do with the Belkin router.

Belkin F7D1401 modem router
