Best Gaming Router Under 2000 in India (2026): Real Ping Tested

Reviewed by Harsh Talreja, Founder of Gaming Nation. Last updated April 2026.

Quick Verdict: Our Picks at a Glance

• Best overall under Rs 2000: TP-Link Archer AX23. WiFi 6, AX1800, stable firmware, clean QoS, and the best overall 5GHz coverage we measured in a Mumbai 2BHK.
• Best for BGMI mobile and Valorant: Mercusys MR60X. Cheapest legit WiFi 6 router in India, OFDMA works well when multiple phones hit the network, and our BGMI India ping stayed in the 40 to 55ms band.
• Best for Jio Fiber bridge mode: TP-Link Archer C80. Rock-solid PPPoE handling, fast boot, and it plays nicely with Jio ONT in bridge mode without drops.
• Best budget under Rs 1,500: TP-Link Archer C6. Four external antennas, MU-MIMO, great price, still our top sub-1500 recommendation in 2026.
• Best AX / WiFi 6 on a tighter budget: D-Link DIR-X1560. AX1500, decent QoS in the D-Link EAGLE PRO AI app, and usually the second cheapest WiFi 6 router on Amazon India.

What Rs 2000 Actually Gets You (An Honest Talk)

Before we get into individual router reviews, we want to be straight with you. A Rs 2000 router is not a gaming router in the way an ASUS ROG Rapture or a Netgear Nighthawk Pro Gaming box is. You are not getting DumaOS, geo-fencing, dedicated gaming CPU cores, or real-time traffic analytics. At this budget you get three things that actually matter for Indian gamers:

1. Upgraded range and 5GHz stability. Compared to the free ISP router, a Rs 2000 TP-Link or Mercusys gives you noticeably more reliable 5GHz coverage in a 2BHK with concrete walls.
2. Basic QoS that works. TP-Link HomeShield, Tenda Bandwidth Control and D-Link Smart QoS will not run miracles, but they stop your sister streaming Netflix 4K from tanking your ping while you queue up a Valorant match.
3. Cleaner NAT behaviour. Your PS5 stops showing NAT Type 3, Xbox party chat starts working, and Fortnite friend invites go through. This is usually broken on default Jio and Airtel boxes.

What you do NOT get at Rs 2000 is lower ping to the BGMI India server. Your BGMI ping is a function of your ISP and how far the Mumbai or Chennai game server is from you. A new router cannot cut 50ms to 20ms. What it CAN do is stop random spikes from 50ms to 300ms because your WiFi drops under load. That distinction matters.

We have written this piece because most guides we read, including the competitor piece that ranks right above us, skip this honesty. They make it sound like buying a Rs 1,999 router transforms your ranked experience. It does not. It fixes the last ten feet of wireless. The other 99 percent of the ping path is the ISP fibre and the game server.

How We Picked and Tested

This article is based on seven-plus years of running home networking for my own Mumbai flat across three ISPs, Jio Fiber, Airtel Xstream and Excitel, along with 18-plus gaming cafe visits where I noted down the router and switch setup used on the floor. I am not claiming a lab. I am claiming real house, real walls, real neighbour WiFi interference, and real Indian ISPs.

Our Mumbai flat is a 2BHK with two concrete walls between the router placement and the bedroom gaming rig. Floor area is roughly 780 square feet. Devices on the network vary between six and eleven, mostly phones, two laptops, a PS5, a gaming desktop, and three smart home devices. Game servers we monitor routinely:

• BGMI India server: typical ping on Jio Fiber 150 Mbps over 5GHz, 42 to 58ms. On Airtel Xstream 200 Mbps, 38 to 52ms. On Excitel 300 Mbps, 45 to 60ms.
• Valorant Mumbai server: 8 to 14ms on Airtel and Excitel in our observations, 10 to 18ms on Jio. If you are getting 30ms plus to Valorant Mumbai, something is wrong.
• CS2 Mumbai community servers: 10 to 20ms across the three ISPs, 15 to 25ms to Singapore servers, 80 to 110ms to EU West.

We cross-checked router behaviour at different times of the day, because Jio Fiber in particular degrades between 9pm and 11pm in some Mumbai localities. These are observational numbers from a real household, not synthetic lab runs.

Comparison Table: All Routers Side by Side

Prices move around on Amazon.in. The ranges above reflect what we have seen between January and April 2026.

1. TP-Link Archer AX23 (AX1800) : Best Overall Under Rs 2000

If you buy one router from this list, make it the Archer AX23. WiFi 6, dual-band AX1800 (1201 Mbps on 5GHz, 574 Mbps on 2.4GHz), four external antennas with beamforming, one gigabit WAN and four gigabit LAN ports. It runs TP-Link’s mature firmware with HomeShield QoS and OFDMA.

In our Mumbai 2BHK, placed in the living room TV unit, the AX23 held a clean 5GHz link to the bedroom PS5 through two concrete walls. BGMI India ping on our Airtel Xstream 200 Mbps line held in the 42 to 55ms band over a 45 minute match, with no spikes above 80ms even while someone was on a Teams call in another room.

Valorant Mumbai sat at 10 to 14ms. CS2 Mumbai community servers ran 14 to 20ms. PS5 returned NAT Type 2 out of the box with UPnP enabled.

Who it is for: 2BHK households, mixed gaming between mobile BGMI, PS5 and one PC. Also the single best choice for Jio Fiber 150 Mbps and Airtel 200 Mbps users.

Watch out for: The 2.4GHz radio is average. If you have lots of IoT devices and a far-off smart TV, place the router more centrally.

2. Mercusys MR60X (AX1500) : Best for BGMI Mobile and Valorant

Mercusys is a TP-Link sub-brand, and the MR60X is the cheapest legit WiFi 6 router in India. AX1500 (1201 Mbps 5GHz, 300 Mbps 2.4GHz), four fixed antennas, one gigabit WAN plus three gigabit LAN. No fancy app ecosystem, basic web UI, and that is fine.

For BGMI mobile specifically, the OFDMA behaviour on this chipset held up better than the Archer C80 when four phones were hammering the network at once. Our ping stayed 44 to 58ms on BGMI India while a Reel was streaming on another phone. On WiFi 5 AC1200 boxes, that same scenario pushed us past 90ms.

Who it is for: Mobile-first gaming households. Couples or families where four phones share the link. Best for 1BHK and 2BHK.

Watch out for: Firmware updates are less frequent than TP-Link. Parental control feature set is thin. No fancy QoS dashboard.

3. TP-Link Archer C80 (AC1900) : Best for Jio Fiber Bridge Mode

The Archer C80 is WiFi 5 but it is the most stable PPPoE dialler we have used under Rs 2000. If you are planning to run your Jio Fiber ONT in bridge mode, this is the router we recommend. AC1900 (1300 Mbps 5GHz, 600 Mbps 2.4GHz), MU-MIMO, 3×3 antenna array which is unusual in this price bracket.

We have run a Jio Fiber 150 Mbps plan through an Archer C80 in bridge mode for six months without a single PPPoE drop. BGMI India ping averaged 45 to 60ms. The 2.4GHz coverage is the strongest in this entire list, which matters if your IoT devices or smart TV sit in a far corner.

Who it is for: Jio Fiber users who want to bridge the ONT and take control. Also anyone in a 3BHK where 2.4GHz reach matters more than WiFi 6.

Watch out for: It is still WiFi 5. If you have six or more active WiFi clients simultaneously, the AX23 will feel snappier.

Check Price on Amazon

4. TP-Link Archer AX10 / AX1500

The AX10 is TP-Link’s entry WiFi 6 router, AX1500 class. When it is in stock it hovers right around Rs 2,000. The AX23 is a better buy at the same price, but if the AX23 is out of stock or discounted past the AX10, the AX10 is a solid backup.

In our tests it trailed the AX23 by a few milliseconds on BGMI India (46 to 60ms versus 42 to 55ms) and the 2.4GHz range is weaker. Otherwise the behaviour is similar: NAT Type 2 on PS5, clean OFDMA, stable bridge mode operation.

Check Price on Amazon

5. D-Link DIR-X1560 (AX1500) : Runner-up WiFi 6 Pick

D-Link’s DIR-X1560 is the quiet WiFi 6 option. AX1500, four internal antennas, gigabit ports, EAGLE PRO AI app for setup and QoS. Build quality feels premium at this price, a rarity in the sub Rs 2000 bracket.

BGMI India ping on Excitel 300 Mbps sat in the 48 to 62ms range in our tests. The EAGLE PRO QoS works; toggling gaming priority did keep our ping stable when Netflix 4K was running on the same link. One quirk: first-time setup on the EAGLE PRO app sometimes fails, and falling back to the 192.168.0.1 web UI is more reliable.

Check Price on Amazon

6. Tenda AC23 (AC2100) : Best 2.4GHz Reach

The Tenda AC23 is the only AC2100 router in this price band, thanks to its seven external antennas. Yes, seven. Three on the back, four on the sides. It looks like a spider, and the antennas actually do something. In a 3BHK with a weak 2.4GHz band for smart home devices, this is the quiet pick.

Gaming-wise, BGMI India held 50 to 65ms on Jio Fiber. NAT Type 2 on PS5 with UPnP. The Tenda firmware is simpler than TP-Link and lacks HomeShield-level polish, but the basics are solid.

Check Price on Amazon

7. TP-Link Archer C6 (AC1200) : Best Budget Under Rs 1,500

The Archer C6 has been the value king since 2020 and it still is in 2026. AC1200 class, four external antennas, MU-MIMO, gigabit WAN and LAN. If your budget is strict and your flat is 1BHK or small 2BHK with one gamer, the C6 does the job.

BGMI India ping on our Airtel 200 Mbps line held 50 to 68ms. Valorant Mumbai 12 to 18ms. It is WiFi 5 so it will not match the AX23 under load with six devices, but for two or three active devices it is dead solid.

Check Price on Amazon

8. Tenda AC10 (AC1200)

Tenda AC10 is the cheapest AC1200 worth buying. Four external antennas, gigabit ports, straightforward web UI. BGMI India ping came in at 55 to 75ms on our line, with occasional 100ms spikes when the 5GHz signal hit two concrete walls. For a 1BHK or a single gamer apartment at under Rs 1,300, it works.

Check Price on Amazon

9. D-Link DIR-825 (AC1200)

D-Link DIR-825 is a legacy AC1200 router that still sells at around Rs 1,499 on Amazon. It is fine, not exciting. PPPoE handling is reliable, older firmware makes NAT configuration a bit finicky. If you see it discounted under Rs 1,200 it is worth grabbing. At full price, the TP-Link Archer C6 beats it on almost every metric.

For Jio Fiber Users: The Bridge Mode Walkthrough

This is the section most Indian guides skip. If you are on Jio Fiber, the white ONT box that Jio installs is doing two jobs poorly: acting as a fibre modem AND as a router plus WiFi access point. Its WiFi is mediocre and its NAT handling causes problems on PS5 and Xbox. The fix is bridge mode.

What is bridge mode?

Bridge mode turns your Jio ONT into a dumb fibre-to-ethernet converter. The PPPoE authentication and WiFi duties shift to your new router. Your PS5 sees only one NAT layer instead of two, and your new router is the one handling WiFi, which is what you wanted.

Steps we actually run

1. Call Jio support (1800 896 9999) and ask for “bridge mode configuration on my ONT”. Give your registered number. They enable it remotely on most models, usually within 30 minutes.
2. Note down your Jio PPPoE username and password. The agent will share these on request.
3. Connect your new router’s WAN port to the ONT’s LAN1 port using the cable Jio supplied.
4. Factory reset your new router. On the TP-Link Archer AX23 and C80, hold the reset pin for 10 seconds.
5. Open the router admin page. For TP-Link, go to tplinkwifi.net. For Mercusys, mwlogin.net. For D-Link, 192.168.0.1.
6. In the WAN setup, choose PPPoE. Enter the Jio username and password from step 2.
7. Save, reboot, wait two minutes. Run a speed test.

After bridge mode, expect BGMI ping to stabilise by 5 to 10ms on average and PS5 NAT to flip from strict (Type 3) to moderate (Type 2). That is the biggest single win you can get from a Rs 2000 router purchase on Jio Fiber.

For Airtel Xstream and Excitel Users

Airtel Xstream Fiber uses its own ONT, typically a Nokia or ZTE unit. Bridge mode is also possible but Airtel is stricter about giving out PPPoE credentials. Call 121 and ask for bridge mode. Some reps will refuse, so escalate once. In Mumbai we have had roughly a 50 percent success rate.

The easier path with Airtel is to leave their router on, disable its WiFi completely in the ONT admin page, and connect your new router in “AP mode” or behind their router in double NAT. Yes, double NAT is not ideal, but in our observations the Airtel Xstream ONT handles gaming NAT better than the Jio ONT, so the pain is smaller.

Excitel is the friendliest of the three. Their CPE is usually a simpler device. Most Excitel connections are straight ethernet handoff over DHCP, which means your new router just needs WAN set to “Dynamic IP” and you are done. No PPPoE credentials to hunt for. For Excitel users, any router on this list works perfectly out of the box.

What Gaming Cafes Actually Use (Reality Check)

Across 18-plus cafe visits for Gaming Nation reviews, from 1Up Gaming in Hyderabad to AIM Gaming in Mumbai to Alpha Esports, I have yet to see a single serious cafe using a sub Rs 2000 router. Here is what I have actually seen on the floor:

• Ubiquiti UniFi Dream Machine plus a stack of access points. Easily Rs 40,000-plus setup. Three Mumbai cafes and two Bangalore cafes I reviewed run this.
• MikroTik hEX S or RB4011 with TP-Link EAP access points. Rs 15,000-plus. Used by the mid-tier cafes that take latency seriously.
• Everything wired with gigabit CAT6 to every PC. Every cafe runs wired. No serious esports cafe trusts WiFi for LAN play.

So when you buy a Rs 2000 router for home, do not expect cafe-grade performance. You are getting a much cheaper device doing a much harder job (wireless) with far fewer hardware resources. Set expectations accordingly. The goal is to match what a decent wired cafe PC gives you, and the way to do that at home is simple: run a CAT6 cable to your main gaming device and use WiFi only for the phones.

Best for BGMI Mobile (Honest Breakdown)

BGMI is latency-sensitive and bandwidth-light. A ranked match uses under 5 MB per match. What kills BGMI is packet loss and jitter, not raw speed. For mobile BGMI, we recommend the Mercusys MR60X and the TP-Link Archer AX23, both WiFi 6. The OFDMA in WiFi 6 genuinely helps when multiple phones are on the network, because each phone gets a scheduled slice rather than contending for airtime.

Our BGMI India ping numbers, taken at 9pm peak hours in Mumbai on Airtel Xstream 200 Mbps:

• TP-Link Archer AX23: 42 to 55ms, 0 visible jitter in lobby HUD
• Mercusys MR60X: 44 to 58ms, 0 to 2ms jitter
• TP-Link Archer C80 (WiFi 5): 45 to 60ms, 0 to 3ms jitter
• TP-Link Archer C6 (WiFi 5): 50 to 68ms, occasional 90ms spikes
• Tenda AC10 (WiFi 5): 55 to 75ms, frequent spikes above 100ms under load

Best for Valorant (PC)

Valorant’s Mumbai server is one of the best-connected game servers for Indian players. If your router is doing its job, you should see 8 to 18ms. The ceiling for “good enough” here is about 40ms. Any router on our list can hit that for a single wired PC. The question is whether your WiFi setup can.

Honest recommendation: for Valorant, skip WiFi entirely and run a Rs 150 CAT6 cable from the router to your PC. Every router here has gigabit LAN ports. Wired will give you 8 to 14ms ping with near-zero jitter on any of these boxes. If you truly cannot wire, use the Archer AX23 on 5GHz with the PC as close to the router as possible.

Best for PS5 and Xbox

For console gaming, the single biggest thing that matters is NAT Type. PS5 wants NAT Type 2 (Moderate) and Xbox wants Open NAT. NAT Type 3 / Strict NAT breaks party chat, breaks invites, and sometimes breaks matchmaking in Call of Duty Warzone.

Our picks for console:

• TP-Link Archer AX23: gives NAT Type 2 on PS5 out of the box, Open NAT on Xbox with UPnP enabled. Our top pick.
• TP-Link Archer C80: equivalent behaviour, WiFi 5 but strong 5GHz, good if you are on Jio bridge mode.
• Tenda AC23: reliable NAT Type 2, budget-friendly.

Avoid older D-Link DIR-825 firmware for console gaming. We saw NAT Type 3 on two separate C-revision units even with UPnP on.

Buying Guide: What to Care About, What to Ignore

WiFi 5 vs WiFi 6 at Rs 2000

WiFi 6 at this price (AX1500 on Mercusys MR60X, AX1800 on Archer AX23) is genuinely worth it if you have five-plus active WiFi devices. OFDMA is not marketing fluff. It measurably reduces contention when multiple phones are on at once. If you have two or three devices, WiFi 5 AC1900 on the Archer C80 is equally good in practice.

QoS Marketing vs Real Benefit

TP-Link HomeShield, D-Link EAGLE PRO AI and Tenda Bandwidth Control all claim “gaming QoS”. The reality: they can prioritise your console or PC over other devices, which stops your ping from spiking when someone else downloads. They cannot lower your base ping. If you gate your expectations to “keep my ping stable”, QoS at this bracket works. If you expect “transform my connection”, you will be disappointed.

Antenna Count Does Not Equal Speed

The Tenda AC23’s seven antennas do help 2.4GHz reach but do not multiply speed. Marketing departments love antenna counts. What matters is the MIMO stream count and the chipset generation. A 2×2 WiFi 6 router beats a 4×4 WiFi 5 router for mobile gaming in most cases.

When to Skip Routers and Just Use Ethernet

If your gaming rig is within 10 metres of your router, run a cable. A Rs 150 CAT6 patch cable plus a drill-and-staple afternoon will give you better gaming latency than any Rs 2000 WiFi router on earth. This is the single best advice we can give Indian gamers, and no brand wants to hear it.

2.4GHz Interference in Indian Apartments

The 2.4GHz band in a Mumbai building typically has 8 to 14 neighbour WiFi networks overlapping. Add microwave ovens (every use kills 2.4GHz for two minutes), cordless phones, and old Bluetooth speakers. This is why we insist: put your gaming device on 5GHz only. Use 2.4GHz strictly for IoT. Every router on this list lets you split the SSIDs.

Setup Tips Specific to Indian Homes

• Router placement: central, off the floor, away from the TV. Not inside a wooden cabinet. Our Archer AX23 picked up 6dB more signal by moving it from inside a drawer to on top of the drawer.
• Summer heat: Indian summers push router temperatures past 55C. A weekly reboot (smart plug on a schedule) prevents memory leak-induced slowdowns.
• Neighbour SSID overlap: run a WiFi scan (Fing, WiFi Analyzer) and pick the cleanest 5GHz channel. Default auto-channel on these routers sometimes lands on a crowded one.
• DDNS for remote gaming: TP-Link and D-Link offer free DDNS. Useful if you play Steam Remote Play from work.
• Firmware updates: TP-Link and Mercusys push updates quarterly. Check every 2 to 3 months.

What We Would Not Buy Under Rs 2000

• Netgear R6080: old chipset, weak 2.4GHz, Netgear’s Indian support is slow.
• ASUS RT-AC59U (now aged): the unit is fine but ASUS’s entry-level models under Rs 2000 have been discontinued and remaining stock is very old firmware.
• Unbranded “gaming” routers on Amazon for Rs 1,299 with neon lights: they are repackaged generic OEM boards, firmware is sketchy, and we have seen them brick within weeks.
• Redmi AX3000: a great router, but in India it consistently lists above Rs 2,200 on Amazon, so it does not fit our budget cap. If you can stretch, it is worth it.

Gaming Nation’s Final Recommendation

If you close this tab with one thing, make it this: buy the TP-Link Archer AX23 if you can find it for Rs 1,899 or less. Buy the Mercusys MR60X if you are strict on budget and want WiFi 6. Buy the TP-Link Archer C80 if you are on Jio Fiber and planning to run bridge mode. And please, for the love of your K/D ratio, run an ethernet cable to your PS5 or PC.

This is Gaming Nation’s honest, Mumbai-tested take. No affiliate is paying us to rank these. We genuinely use the AX23 at home, the C80 at a family member’s place on Jio Fiber, and the Archer C6 is still running at a friend’s 1BHK three years after purchase.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can a router under Rs 2000 really reduce gaming ping in India?

A budget router will not magically reduce ping to Indian game servers. What it does is stabilise the last-mile WiFi link so you stop seeing ping spikes from 40ms to 300ms. Your base ping to BGMI India, Valorant Mumbai and CS2 Mumbai is set by your ISP and distance to the server, not by the router.

Is WiFi 6 worth it under Rs 2000?

For a 2BHK with 3 to 5 devices, WiFi 6 on a router like the TP-Link Archer AX23 or Mercusys MR60X gives measurably better latency under load than a WiFi 5 router. For a 1BHK with only one gamer, a solid AC1200 like the Archer C6 is usually enough.

Will a new router fix my Jio Fiber lag?

It depends. If your lag comes from WiFi congestion or poor range, yes. If it comes from the Jio ONT acting as router plus AP with old firmware, switching the Jio box to bridge mode and using a new WiFi 6 router as the main router helps noticeably.

What is the best router for BGMI mobile under Rs 2000?

We recommend the TP-Link Archer AX23 or Mercusys MR60X. Both are WiFi 6, both have OFDMA which helps mobile gaming when other phones are also on the network, and both run stable 5GHz inside a 2BHK.

What is the best router for PS5 and Xbox under Rs 2000?

The TP-Link Archer C80 and Archer AX23 both open up NAT Type 2 on PS5 and Open NAT on Xbox with UPnP enabled, which is what you want for Call of Duty, Fortnite and FIFA party chat.

Can I use a mesh WiFi system under Rs 2000?

Realistically, no. Proper mesh kits like Deco M4 or Mercusys Halo H30G two-pack start closer to Rs 3,500 to 4,500. Under Rs 2000 you are buying a single router. For a 2BHK that is usually enough.

Is 2.4GHz or 5GHz better for gaming on these routers?

5GHz, without question. 2.4GHz is saturated in Indian apartments because of neighbour WiFi, microwaves and cordless phones. Use 5GHz for your gaming device and keep 2.4GHz for IoT and smart bulbs.

What is the real WiFi range inside a 2BHK concrete flat?

In our Mumbai observations, 5GHz reliably covers one concrete wall with minimal loss, drops sharply at two walls, and is unusable at three. 2.4GHz handles two walls. Physical router placement matters more than the price bracket.

Does QoS on a Rs 2000 router actually work?

QoS prioritisation at this bracket is basic. TP-Link HomeShield QoS, Tenda bandwidth control and D-Link Smart QoS all help when someone is downloading while you game. They do not replace a real gaming router at Rs 5000 plus.

Should I buy a refurbished higher-end router instead?

Only from Amazon Renewed with a warranty. A renewed ASUS RT-AC68U or TP-Link Archer C7 can be a good alternative, but routers age badly in hot Indian conditions and capacitor failure is common after three years.

Can I disable the Jio Fiber router and use my own?

Yes. Jio supports bridge mode on most ONTs. You set the ONT to bridge, then your new router dials the PPPoE connection. Full steps are in our Jio section above.

Do gaming cafes use these same routers?

No. Most cafes we have visited run Ubiquiti UniFi, MikroTik hEX or Cisco RV series, usually Rs 8,000 and above. Cafes rely on wired connections to every PC. Do not compare a home Rs 2000 router to a cafe deployment.

Is Ethernet still better than WiFi 6 for gaming?

Yes. A Rs 150 CAT6 cable will outperform any Rs 2000 router on WiFi. For PS5, Xbox and desktop PC, run a wire if possible.

Will a new router help Valorant ping from Mumbai?

The Valorant Mumbai server gives us 8 to 14ms in our observations on Airtel Xstream and Excitel. A better router keeps that ping stable instead of spiking when a family member opens YouTube. It will not lower the base 8 to 14ms number.

Can I use these routers with Excitel 300 Mbps?

All routers covered here handle 300 Mbps over WiFi 5 5GHz at close range. For sustained 300 Mbps in a 2BHK with walls, WiFi 6 routers like the AX23 and MR60X are a safer pick.

How do I get Open NAT or NAT Type 2 on PS5?

Enable UPnP on the router, turn off any double NAT (bridge the ISP ONT), and avoid enabling a VPN at the router level. On Tenda AC23 and TP-Link Archer AX23, UPnP is on by default and PS5 shows NAT Type 2.

Are MediaTek chipset routers good for gaming?

Modern MediaTek Filogic chips used in Mercusys MR60X and TP-Link AX23 are good. They handle OFDMA and MU-MIMO well. The old perception that only Broadcom equals gaming is outdated.

How often should I reboot my router?

Once a week is healthy in Indian summer conditions, mostly to clear heat-related memory leaks. A smart plug on a weekly schedule solves this in Rs 400.
