After quite a bit of tweaking, I managed to get my Tenda 3G 611 R+ router working with my (debranded**) ex-Vodafone Huawei K3765 usb dongle with an 8Ta simcard in it on the 8Ta 10Gb for R199 per month deal.
** I used the Debranding (Permanent) method from this website [warning: this does invalidate the Vodafone guarantee on your dongle]:
