Uh? "First Wireless Router"? I've been using a Linksys (WRT54G) since ages! In Fact, an ADSL Modem + WiFi combo by Linksys (WAG200G) is also available.
And this isn't their 'first' router, Linksys is a well known company. :-/
How much would a ADSL Modem + WiFi combo cost? For Wifi router Airtel wants Rs. 1000/- as non-refundable installation charges and Rs. 100/- as rental. This news really sucks and despite several followup's they dont reply on time and customer service has become worse.
So, how it is different than other routers available in the market? I have been using Netgear router with almost same capabilities since last 3 years. How can you say that it is First?
