    I have internet access via Cable LAN (2 MBPs line at present will upgrade to 8 MBPs next month) from http://www.pacenet-india.com/services.html

    My Requirements:
    I want to connect all my 3 PCs internally (networking) via this router.
    I have a wired lan setup, so that this 3 PCs can talk to each other if they are connected to a router/switch from my living room. (I need fast file/transfer between this 3 PCs)
    There are many IT geeks in my building (I want best security via this router)
    None of my PCs has inbuilt WIFI (Can I get a feature in router someway which can help me connect all 3 PCs to each other wireless (without using wired cable which I am doing at present)

    yes, in many cases this is good advice

    however, ISP's usually don't want all their customers using the best / fastest equipment available to buy because it may show that they are the bottleneck (the slowest part of their network)

    maybe you could try improving your line stats first

    and you don't mention what existing WiFi equipment you have, or whether they can be upgraded

    as for my recommendation i would say the Asus RT-AC66U 802.11ac even though i haven't read the reviews, just the specs & it also has detachable antennae (presumably also replaceable) and many additional fetchers (if you will use any of them) also would you ever be using a 3rd party firmware on it (DD-WRT, OpenWRT etc etc) ?

    that's all i can think of

    Edit: what Operating System, Windows i presume (just curious)

    show off

    also what modem do you have ?
