Cudy AX3000 WiFi 6 Mesh Kit, White

Placed at mid distance between a weak recepeption area and my router, I have set it as a repeater, and it does the job well. I get a strong signal and the same speed as the router.

Cudy heißt Qualität. Die Verbindung und die Einrichtung von Cudy Artikel erfolgt über die App oder besser: über den Desktop Browser. Es werden verschieden Möglichkeiten angeboten, wie das Gerät genutzt werden soll. Sei es als WLAN Router, Access Point, WISP usw. Anhand von Bildern wird ebenfalls angezeigt, was am besten genutzt werden soll. Die erste Einrichtung dauert, je nach persönlichen Eingaben und Feinheiten, bis zu 10 Minuten. Danach besteht die Möglichkeit unter "weitere Einstellungen" weitere Einstellungen und Feinheiten vorzunehmen, je nach eigenem Ermessen. Die Reichweite und die Stabilität darf nicht unerwähnt bleiben, denn diese deckt fast die ganze Wohnung ab. Verbindung als Mesh zu anderen Cudy Artikel kann ebenfalls über die App oder Desktop Broweser eingerichtet werden. Sobald in der Nähe weitere Cudy Artikel vorhanden sind werden diese gefunden und es können diese einzeln oder "alle zusammen" verbunden werden. Dieser Vorgang, inklusive der Suche, dauert bis zu 5 Minuten. Da wird keine WPS Taste usw. benötigt. Hier ist eine klare Kaufempfehlung gegeben.

It was pretty good. The range went quite far and it was a lot easier than having to run a cable from 1 building to another. I didn't see any speed or latency drops that were noticable diring a speed test. Keep in mind that I used this for streaming and gaming for 2 people, so I don't know how it behaves under heavy loads with several devices. Having said that, for home use, it exceeded my expectations.

For a new brand, I'm beyond impressed with what they've achieved with this AX3000 router. First off, there is an app available but it's fully optional. Default IP is written right underneath the router and is accessible via the default SSID and passkey combo also located in the same place. Once you get in, you go through a 5 step wizard to set up your WAN, wifi, etc. After that, the fun begins. There is so much you can do that is normally locked out of consumer routers. For instance, this router can be set up as an VPN Server so that you can remote into your home network from anywhere in the world. Normally this is nothing new but that's until you pull down the drop down list. It supports OpenVPN, WireGuard and ZeroTier! Not just PPTP and L2TP! It can also act as a VPN client if you want to keep your entire network behind services like NordVPN or ExpressVPN. It also supports DDNS, which is a service that allows you to register a dynamic IP address assigned from your ISP to a domain name. This is literally a must to get a VPN server going over a home internet connection, and I'm glad they included it. In fact, when you open the Advanced Settings page, there is literally two pages of options to go through. This includes Static Routing, Port Forwarding, Port Trigger, IPTV/VLAN, Guest Network setup, Firewall, IP Filters, Timed Reboot (for keeping the router stable), etc. For all the parents out there, rejoice as there's a pretty decent parental control section with ability to blacklist addresses and also set schedules and time limits to internet access. During testing, 5GHz worked pretty much at max speed with decent coverage. While the unit does have a 2.5G ethernet interface, it is doubtful you'll be anywhere near maxing it over 5G wifi but it does benefit other PCs wired to the unit. The 2.4GHz band is pretty congested in my area so it performs as expected I guess. Overall, pretty amazing product for a first attempt. I suspect it will only get better with future firmware upgrades.

I needed a Wi-Fi bridge to my high-end audio system. I tried several other bridge / extender devices and none worked correctly for streaming to my high-end Auralic Vega G2 streamer. This one does! The Cudy AX3000 has multiple modes: Mesh Wi-Fi Router, Mesh Access Point, Wireless Extender, WISP, and Client. I've never seen another device with such flexibility. I purchased the Cudy expecting to need to install OpenWRT in order to solve my streaming problem. Luckily, it worked beautifully using the Client Mode. No need to install OpenWRT, even though it is supported. The Client Mode provides the Layer 2 networking that I needed for Upnp / Openhome streaming in my Ubiquiti network. I'm getting 1.2 Gbit speed connected to my Ubiquity U7 access point. The Cudy is also one the best looking devices out there. Not to mention, a great value. The description says it's Version 1, but I received Version 2. Kudos to Cudy for such a great product!
