I do have an old ADSL2+ Modem that has 4 LAN and 1 USB port. I can connect it to my computer via its Ethernet port using Modem's one of the LAN port or via Modem's USB port to desktop computer's USB port. It works well but the only issue is that it is not a WiFi modem and therefore I cannot get Internet access on wireless devices such as smartphone.

I need the same type of modem that I have got but with the addition of WiFi (WLAN).
Unfortunately, the Wifi modems I have seen till now don't have this USB port. Some WiFi ADSL modems do have USB port but that port cannot be used to connect modem to computer. Its for connecting only to USB printer or USB drive. I came across one modem that had exactly what I wanted but sadly it has been discontinued.

The Ethernet port on my computer has failed but luckily this modem has got USB port too so I am able to use Internet via this USB port on my computer. I am using like this from last few years. Yes, I can get a Ethernet card but I am avoiding it. But now I need the internet access on the smartphone too but I cannot do so using this modem.

So, please suggest a mid range WLAN modem that gives what I need. I don't need other functions and features. It must have atleast 1 external antenna and maximum 2 antennas. One with 3 antenna will also do if not available with 2 antennas.

Thank you very much!!
