Is a small-office network actually worth buying for editing in DaVinci Resolve in SA?

The CUDY AC1200 4G LTE at R1,396 suits a small creator studio that needs a steadier small-office network for DaVinci Resolve project access, client review files, and shared media browsing. It is the best fit here because the AC1200 class gives the office a stronger everyday router base than a tiny travel unit, while 4G LTE support gives the setup a practical second connection option.

Router choice for a compact editing office

The CUDY AC1200 4G LTE at R1,396 makes sense when more than one workstation, phone, or tablet needs access around the same editing suite. The key spec is AC1200 plus 4G LTE, which is useful for a small team handling uploads, review notes, and shared reference folders without turning the router into the weakest part of the room.

The CUDY N300 Travel at R450 is better treated as a portable backup or temporary desk router, not the main backbone for a shared media corner. Its N300 spec is fine for light admin, travel use, and a simple one-person setup, but a permanent office with creative files should start with the stronger CUDY AC1200 4G LTE at R1,396.

Creator desk and router cupboard reality

At a creator desk, the ASUS PCE-AX1800 adapter at R147 can help a desktop connect cleanly to the office WiFi if cable routing is awkward. Its AX1800 adapter spec pairs more naturally with a stronger router choice, so it is a sensible add-on beside the CUDY AC1200 4G LTE at R1,396 rather than a replacement for the router itself.
