It is always a good idea to invest in an additional router (WiFi recommended) as that keeps connection and access management simple. I'd recommend NETGEAR WGR614v7. The cost was about INR 1900 when i purchased it close to two years ago. Currently, it should cost you around 1650 - 1700. The NETGEAR router has a web interface to manage the connection settings which includes firewall capabilities, port filtering and forwarding, MAC based access control, DHCP server. It is also a 4-port switch to physically connect to desktop or printer. Performance wise i had no issues even during heavy downloads like DVD .iso images or managing many connected wireless devices. All the 3 laptops and 3 smartphones (E61) can simultaneously access the network services along with my 5 servers without any performance degradation. If you are in Hyderabad, you can visit CTC and buy it from Mr. Reddy of Supreme Infotech. Hope this helps. thanks Saifi.
