    Post How to Change to Wifi modem

    Can anyone tel me how to change to Wifi modem. I already have bsnl connection and currently using ADSL modem - ZXDSL 831A II.

    I contacted bsnl office. They told that i should buy from outside. Which is the best one to buy?

    Now i use desktop connection. So after changing to wifi, are there options for using desktop too ?

    Thanks in advance

    Use USB port of Modem for Desktop ( may or may not work OS used ???)
    Lan port for Laptop.
    Check both can connect to Internet at the same time.

    If your budget allows it. Anyway wifi router Only costs approx Rs 1400/= onwards.
    Which is the model you selected and its cost ?
    .

    Main point is : WIFI range around the house /flat/different floors
    /height/ obstructions etc.
    Usually a radius of activity approx 20 to 30 feet ( same plane ) possible.
    Else buy a model with a higher gain Antenna 5 dBi ( part of router )
    or a detachable antenna model to add improved antenna.
    Models with multiple antennae can be considered.

    Buying ONLIne or from local computer shops.?
    Select brand and compare prices:

    linksys Antenna gain is less. First floor ground floor working may not be possible.
    Buffalo WZR-HP-G300NH ONLY a wifi router.

    Check Tp link 3 in one models . i think TP link TD W 8101G with 5 dBi antenna will be suitable
    for a lower priced model you can buy the antenna later ( Rs 500 approx )
