A CUDY AC1200 4G LTE at R1,396 suits a student or home learner who needs a steadier small-office network for online classes before worrying about a network drive. A shared drive only helps if the connection path is stable first, because recordings, notes, and cloud folders still depend on the router keeping devices online.

Start with the connection, not the storage

The CUDY AC1200 4G LTE at R1,396 is the stronger starting point if Zoom classes are happening from a student desk where mobile data backup matters. Its 4G LTE support makes it more useful than buying storage first, especially when the class laptop, phone, and maybe a shared tablet all need the same internet route.

The CUDY N300 Travel at R450 makes more sense for a lighter setup in res, digs, or a room where the internet source changes. Its travel-router role is the useful spec here: it can keep a basic study corner organised without turning the desk into a full home server shelf.

Student Desk Reality for Online Classes

A network drive can be useful later for saving lecture recordings and scanned notes, but it is not the first buy for attending Zoom classes. The ASUS PCE-AX1800 adapter at R147 is a small upgrade for a desktop that needs WiFi access, while the CUDY AC1200 4G LTE at R1,396 handles the shared connection side for the room.
