Need Suggestions for a good router under 3k.

[techspark]

Hi, i know this has been asked many a times before but i have checked the old threads, they all seem pretty old and i am sure there will be new and better routers available now.

I have a 4mbps cable connection(cat5) and i will be using the router to surf web on my android phone, download stuff from the net , hook up my external hdd and run/play files from laptop.

So here are my requirements(in order of preference) :

1. Excellent range. (this is a must. I need to have good signal throughout my house and specially in my living room which is 3 thick walls apart.)

2. Should be N standard as i need good speed for lan transfers.

3. Should have a USB port.

4. Under 3k.

I have only come across asus rt n13u that fits my requirements. I am getting it for 2900, is this a good price ? Are there better alternatives to asus n13 because its been quite some time since it was launched.

Please let me know your views. Thanks in advance. Cheers

You can go with the Asus RT-N13U Wireless N Router with All-in-One Printer Server. It has some very good features, one of which is 'download master'. One can switch off the computer and still keep downloading that should save quite a bit of power in my opinion. This Asus RT-N13U 300Mbps Wireless N Router willt be at a cost price of Rs 3000.
