Hi I live in India and I currently I am using broadband Internet through telephone line to which I connect my Pronet ADSL Router:

As you can see its very old model with one WAN in (RJ11) and one LAN out (RJ45).

Now I want to connect multiple computers through Ethernet cable and also want to connect laptop wirelessly. So I am considering to buy new one.

One option is to buy Wireless Router (no ADSL), the output from my current Pronet router will go to RJ45 WAN input of the new router. If this is the one you suggest then will this router be OK (since my friend got this and he says its all fine):

Or Linksys one will be fine?

Other option is to buy ADSL Wireless router, in which I will plugin my phone line directly. And this is the option I am considering since I don't want to have a mess of two devices running all time. But these routers will come with RJ11 inputs. Will I be able to use to connect to Cable networks, that is one that comes with RJ45 connector. I heard that we can use ADSL routers to connect to Cable Networks through MAC spoofing.
If am going for second option which router I should choose?

Also one more question the Linksys routers comes with no antenna. Is there performance less than those with antennas? And For how many antennas I should go? Am considering 3, but min 2 (absolutely no to 1 antenna)
