Aanjhan,

Thanks for information.
I liked both of the products and specifically linksys ones because
they are hackable. :-D But they don't seem to fit my purpose. I seem
to have caused a bit confusion here by missing the fact that not all
routers are modems too. Sorry for that.

What I am looking for is a wireless router + DSL modem, something
similar to what BSNL provides. I realized my mistake when I checked
both the links. The products you have specified are supposed to act
like frontend for my existing modem/router which I don't want. I wish
to replace current modem/router with the new one.

I guess I will check the Tata Croma store. They seem to have average
collection of the products I am looking for.
