Wireless router bought

Bought a Linksys WRT54G Wireless Broadband Router for 2434/- from Binary World, 1st Cross, Malleshwaram (http://www.bwindia.com).
It has a 4 port Ethernet switch built-in and the wireless connectivity seems okay but it doesn't have a modem built-in (- you cannot connect your phone line directly to this), so I guess I still need to use my Huaweii router along with this.

We have two dataone lines at home now. One dedicated for me and another one for the remaining house members. They are planning to buy a wireless router for connectivity. I heard they settled with a netgear router. . . Do you have any suggesstions of a cheap router?

If you can wait (for some 3 weeks), I guess it'd be cheapest to go with the wireless modem BSNL will give.

If not, Netgear seems fine. Else, this Linksys or D-Link (which is a couple of hundred bucks cheaper) should do. And they each have only one standard model, so not much of a confusion, I reckon.

Also, I've heard, Huaweii makes the cheapest devices (as we'd expect them too), and the quality seems good - a neighbour bought one (a wireless-enabled model) for 1800/- (don't know if it's just a router, or had a modem built-in too) and it seems to work fine for him.

Thanks for the information mate...
