I need your suggestions to buy a new Wifi Router

[mahindar]

Hi friends

Never had any experience with WiFi router. After a search I finally fixed to buy D-Link 2750u. I don't know whether it has any successor later or may be there is any other best router at this same price range. I would like to know your suggestions.
I'm having these devices PC,laptop,Symbian mobile.
Also if you have a D-link 2750u please share your experience.
- How much speed it gives for File transfer rate between mobile-laptop,mobile-computer and laptop-computer?
- What is the speed of USB port?


Thank you
Regards
Mahindar

I do not think D-Link 2750u is a good model. Get a TP-Link instead.

 

[mahindar]

Can you suggest me any model with that specifications and price below Rs 2500/-

Any specific reason?

sorry for that I'm new to this forum and haven't read rules yet. I won't repeat it again.
and coming to wifi routers I would like to know the average file transfer rates between devices for different routers.

would depend upon a lot of factors...

wireless networks your devices support a/b/g/n/ac
quality of signal for wireless devices
configuration

TP-Link W8968 all the way. 😀 Though, depends on what all you intend to do.

[mahindar]

for the price range i choose i can get only a/b/g/n. So in real life experience how much speed it can get

 

[Sushubh]

from what i understand to benefit from n, all your devices connected would need to support n.

 

[mahindar]

yes all my devices support n.
I'm more concentrating on
- file transfer between devices(laptop,pc,mobile)
- usb port (what price it needs to get a usb 3.0. I think i can't get it at 2500/-) and how much speed does a usb 2.0 give

If you are using it can you share your experience regarding speed between devices(aptop,mobile,pc) and usb 2.0

No idea. I rarely transfer stuff across devices except streaming local media to the Chromecast which works perfectly fine.

USB 3 routers > 10k, last I checked. That said go to flipkart and filter by usb3 routers to get a better idea.

 

[mahindar]

what exactly now i'm thinking is. if they are giving very low speeds then i will buy a normal router for now and later i will go for a better device with (usb 3.0,lan gigabit,if possible ac also). That is the reason i'm asking about the speeds. So those devicesdon't become useless for me.

Google tells me:

802.11n - 40-50 Mbps typical, varying greatly depending on configuration, whether it is mixed or N-only network, the number of bonded channels, etc. Specifying a channel, and using 40MHz channels can help achieve 70-80Mbps with some newer routers. Up to 100 Mbps achievable with more expensive commercial equipment with 8x8 arrays, gigabit ports, etc.
