hmm. just realizing that you would still need two modems for individual connections. the lan cable from those modems would go to the TP-Link device. from which you can take a lan cable to a wireless router for wireless devices and lan cable to wired devices. so basically an extra device between the modems and the wireless routers. and you cannot use a combo device for obvious reasons.

dual wan routers and load balancing routers are the same thing. they take more than one input and give a single output.
 
Yup, as Airtel and BSNL are both ADSL based he needs two ADSL modems.

as you can see from here... there is a dedicated wan port. and three lan/wan ports. so you can essentially combine as many as four internet connections for a single stream that comes out of the lan port. for two connections, you use the dedicated wan port and one lan/wan port. which would leave you three lan ports to use with your devices.
 
if your router is a combo device, it would be wasted as it would be behind the load balancing router. best is to get two modems and one wireless router and put the load balancing router in the middle as in the diagram.
 
Putting this behind the load balancing router would be waste. I suggest buying two plain ADSL modems like this and then use the above wireless router in access point mode. The wireless router should have a setting to turn it into an AP.
 
So then load balance router is out of situation? And still both connection will be merged via my wifi router in AP mode?
 
see your second connection would need its own modem and router or a combo device like the one you already have.
you cannot merge two connections using a wireless router or the device you already have.

so your option is to buy two modems (around 800 each) and one load balancing router (3500). and use your existing combo device exclusively as a wireless router.
