Instead of getting a DSL router and a wifi router separately, you
can get a combined ADSL wifi router. One device, less wires. It can
even provide wired connection from its switch ports. Dlink has a couple
of such routers.

I am currently using such a dlink adsl wifi router connected directly to
the Airtel adsl connection. Every other machine in the house - PCs,
laptops is connected via wireless.

Airtel gives you an option to use your own router and will give you a
Rs. 100 discount over monthly rates if you do that. I am not sure if
MTNL allows you to do that.
