Spreadsheet-heavy work under R30,000 needs stable uploads and low jitter more than a top-speed router. The TP-Link Archer MR600 at R2,299 leaves most of the budget for a capable work laptop and backup SIM.
For steady internet where fibre is thin, the smart router to lead with is the CUDY AC1200 4G LTE at R1,396, which takes a mobile SIM and shares a dependable connection for cloud spreadsheets and email. It keeps a numbers-heavy day online without a fixed line.
If you have fibre and want modern speed, the CUDY WR6500H WiFi 7 at R1,394 delivers fast, low-latency wireless from a tidy unit. For a portable backup you can move between sites, the compact CUDY N300 Travel at R450 is a handy, low-cost helper.
To keep your work PC on the cleanest link, add the ASUS PCE-AX1800 Wi-Fi adapter at R147 for a sharper connection at the desk.
Signal placement matters most, so sit the router near a window facing the nearest tower for the strongest incoming connection. A mobile-data line keeps cloud spreadsheets syncing where a fixed line is patchy, so a numbers-heavy day stays online even well away from reliable fibre.
A mobile-data router keeps cloud spreadsheets syncing even where a fixed line is unreliable, which suits many home offices here. Evetech ships nationwide with local warranty support, so your connectivity kit is easy to grow.
