Thread: Is this really a great modem/router?

I am looking for a wireless modem for my BSNL broadband connection.
I was looking for a better one than what BSNL generally offers UT starcom wireless modem/router.

I found this International brand modem :2Wire 2700HG-B DSL Modem Router Wireless
Product Details and Features
This cost around $200 USD.
I managed to get this one for Rs:2000/- INR

Is this modem really a good one?
will this work on BSNL broadband?
any complications?
which one do you recommend?

It should work. But BSNL will not support it.

Have a look at other better options also like Netgear, Linksys, Belkin, D-Link.

He has already purchased it - that is what I understood, at least.

i managed to get this one for rs:2000/- inr

will this work on bsnl broadband?

i will decide on making payment or not upon your opinions.

You can get a wifi device from BSNL for Rs.1600 + tax, which is a lot cheaper than other model. And no worries about service support. The same is available on Rs. 80 pm rent.

yea the BSNL one would be a better choice

Hey does this router support 802.11n if yes.... go for it....
If don't look at some other router's.........
802.11n will give you a better speed, range etc.........

Basically it should work, but not sure about its compatibility with BSNL, even i had problems when BSNL gave me ITI-DNA-A211-I Modem, none of the pages used to open then BSNL replaced it with UTStarcom one now i dont have any problems, they said that there is some compatibility issue with the modem and the equipment at exchange.

So always be on safer side.
