CUDY AC1200 4G LTE at R1,396 suits a KZN coast home that needs a router option with mobile data support when the fibre line or ONT setup needs backup connectivity. Its 4G LTE capability is the useful spec here, because a small UPS can keep the networking side alive while the router still has a route out through mobile data.
Coastal home fibre cupboard
In a humid coastal cupboard, the CUDY AC1200 4G LTE at R1,396 makes more sense than buying only a basic travel unit, because AC1200 WiFi and 4G LTE give the setup both home coverage and a fallback path. Keep it raised, ventilated, and away from damp walls so the UPS and power brick do not sit in trapped moisture.
The CUDY N300 Travel at R450 is the compact pick for a student desk, holiday flat, or backup kit where N300 WiFi is enough for simple browsing and admin. It is not the stronger main-home choice, but its small format makes it practical when the UPS only needs to support light network use.
The ASUS PCE-AX1800 adapter at R147 is not a router, but it is a useful add-on for a desktop near the setup because AX1800 wireless can help the PC connect more cleanly to the network. Pairing a capable adapter with the CUDY AC1200 4G LTE at R1,396 avoids blaming the router when the weak point is actually the device connection.
