Rs. 3450 per unit.  I went by the specs. on the Buffalo site but in
reality I could not get the "high" power coverage (reason stated in my
previous email).

I would opt for the E2100L though if available in India.

I suggest you read the user feedback on such units @ www.newegg.com,
www.amazon.com, www.tigerdirect.com.   The user comments posted are a
good indication of what you might experience.

Thanks - what was their quote?

No idea about WRT160NL.  Are they available?  Price?   If available go
for it, especially when DD-WRT supports it.

I would not put in HUB unless it comes with it's own power source.
