A Work-From-Home Desk Setup That Does Not Cost a Fortune
Mice, laptop stands, cables and Wi-Fi extenders — the cheap fixes that remove daily friction.
Editor
Most home desk problems are not solved by a bigger monitor. They are solved by a laptop at eye level, a mouse that fits your hand, and Wi-Fi that reaches the room you actually work in. Prices below are current merchant listings.
What to look for
Fix posture before buying peripherals. A laptop on a desk forces you to look down all day. A ₹400 riser puts the screen at eye level; you then need a separate keyboard and mouse, which is the real cost of the change.
Understand what an extender does. A single-band repeater receives and rebroadcasts on the same radio, roughly halving throughput for every device connected through it. It is the right fix for a dead corner, the wrong fix for a slow connection.
Cable specification is cheap insurance. Cat6 supports gigabit at 100m where Cat5e gets unreliable past 50m. The price gap is small enough that there is no reason to choose Cat5e for a new run.
