Hi This is my feedback on the DLnk Wireless Router for Home. Cost : 3600 RS US = 60 USD. Time for installation - 3 hrs, I have had no prior experience in Networking etc, If you are aware of it then it should take 30 to 45 minutes in connecting the Acble wires and configuraing from your desktop. Some cable providers (SIFY) allocate a static IP, and when you want to use different machines - Desktop and laptop, it can be very painfull. So solution would be allocate the IP to the Router and let the Router give IP's to your individual Machines...I LOVE THIS....So no more chaing IP's to move from from One machine to another etc... Advatages : Provides DHCP services, IP allocation for your machine, NATing and Basic Firewall. You could protect your router through locking your MAC address to the Wireless configuration making sure that only your amchines can use the router. The other way of doing it would be making it secured, which I dont prefer as it prompts for a key every time you want to use it. The best Part, No wires running across the house and false cabling etc. Sit at your Coffee table or in your balcony an have fun working away on your laptop. Disadvantages : Can get very lazy with such devices.
