TP-Link Crowned South Africa’s Best Networking Brand in 2025: Here’s Why It Matters

In the world of routers, cables, and connectivity, there’s usually not much room for celebration. But TP-Link has given South Africans a reason to cheer. This year, the tech brand was officially crowned the Best Networking Brand in South Africa at the 2025 MyBroadband Awards, a nod to a decade of steady growth, customer trust, and next-level tech.

From Underdog to Undefeated

If you’ve set up a home office, streamed a movie in 4K, or hosted a Zoom call that didn’t freeze mid-sentence, chances are you’ve had a TP-Link product quietly working behind the scenes.

Since entering the South African market in 2015, TP-Link has grown its footprint dramatically. In fact, it’s recorded more than 25 percent average annual sales growth, a figure that reflects just how well it has adapted to local demand. Whether for small homes or sprawling business environments, the brand has gained a reputation for being both accessible and dependable.

Why This Award Actually Means Something

The MyBroadband Awards are not just about flashy product releases. The Best Networking Brand accolade considers a range of real-world factors, from performance and innovation to customer satisfaction, support, and reputation.

TP-Link didn’t just tick the boxes. It led the pack.

South Africans who rely on stable internet, especially in a landscape of remote work, gaming, content creation, and always-on smart homes, know that quality networking gear is non-negotiable. And TP-Link has delivered, not just once, but consistently across the board.

Wi-Fi 7 and What It Means for Mzansi

TP-Link’s investment in next-gen connectivity has also pushed it to the front of the pack. One of its standout moves? Pioneering Wi-Fi 7 in South Africa.

While many homes are just starting to get comfortable with fibre, TP-Link is already exploring what comes next: think up to 46 Gbps speeds. That means glitch-free VR, buttery-smooth 8K streaming, and homes that run multiple smart devices without a hiccup. It’s not just futuristic. It’s happening now.

Products That Fit the Way South Africans Live and Work

It’s not just speed. It’s range, reliability, and user-friendliness that have helped TP-Link win over local consumers.

A major part of that success comes from its Omada product line, a business-grade solution that includes ceiling-mounted access points, switches, and scalable network management tools. Perfect for restaurants, lodges, coworking spaces, and even large homes, Omada is designed with real-world South African usage in mind.

And when something does go wrong? TP-Link’s local customer support is there, by live chat, phone, or email, to sort it out fast.

Why This Win Reflects a Bigger Shift

TP-Link’s award is more than a company milestone. It’s a signal that South Africa’s tech landscape is evolving, with users expecting better, faster, and more future-proof connectivity solutions.

It also shows that local consumers are rewarding brands that offer value and support, not just glossy packaging. In a country where stable connectivity can mean the difference between business success and lost income, that trust matters.
