Cudy AX3000 Wi-Fi 6 Router, 4× GbE Ports, Mesh and APP Support, WR3000 V2.0

Physically its small, probably half the size of my AX6000 Linksys. TBH you typically don't need 6gbps if your max speed is 1gbps. Most homes would be fine with AX3000. Setup was easy, access the interface @192.168.10.1 in a web browser. I had to reboot my modem for it to be picked up by the router. You basically set type of role (router, extender etc.), WiFi and VPN. There is a plethora of other options in the advanced menu. The menu isclean, nothing too flashy and that is a good thing IMO. I was able to download my VPN's Wireguard config and apply it under Wireguard client by uploading it. This should work in a similar way for other VPNs that use OpenVPN or Wireguard protocols. Apps that require a VPN were working with no additional VPN app running. You can also have it on/off for specific devices, very handy as for instance your blink camera or similar 2G device doesn't really need it to be on or might have issues. As for WiFi speeds, router is in an upstairs office. I was hitting 350+Mbps downstairs on on my phone, that is with the VPN settings applied. No issues with buffering etc. So I'd say that is decent and comparable to my MR9610v2. I have 500mbps that hits about 560-580 wired. I'll also check for a heatsink. If there are any bare chips I'll add one or two as needed. My Linksys has a huge heatsink, probably why it was so stable but it had no VPN option. Cons, due to it being smaller has less LAN ports and no USB ports for network storage etc. This brand certainly has my attention and I might add an outlet mesh node down the road or of they bring out a more advanced one this will be the 2nd mesh. All in all a cool little device and no issues on day 1. I'll report back on the heatsink and long term stability. 01/03/2024.

I've recently had the pleasure of using the Cudy New AX3000 Dual Band Wi-Fi 6 Router, and let me tell you, it's been a game changer, especially as a secure travel router. The advanced capabilities of this device have truly impressed me. The Wi-Fi 6 upgrade is the star of the show. It's not just about speed, which is blazing fast, by the way, but also about how it handles multiple devices. On a family trip, everyone's gadgets were connected without any lag or drop in performance. Streaming, gaming, browsing - you name it, the Cudy router handled it like a champ. But here's the kicker - its smart beamforming technology. This feature meant that no matter where in the hotel room we were, we got a strong, focused signal. It felt like we had brought a piece of our home network with us on vacation. The dual-core processor ensures that everything runs smoothly. Whether it's for AR/VR gaming or just regular browsing, the performance is top-notch. The whole-house coverage claim holds up pretty well too, but it was its compactness and efficiency as a travel router that won me over. The DL/UL OFDMA & MU-MIMO technology is another standout. In layman's terms, it means that this router can handle a lot of devices and data, making it perfect for environments where multiple devices are in use simultaneously. It was like having a mini data center in my backpack! Security is a big deal for me, especially when traveling. The support for various VPN protocols like WireGuard and OpenVPN gave me peace of mind, knowing my family's online activities were secure and private.

Great, solid performance so far. Speed and reliability. Easy to set up.

Massive upgrade from my tp-link router. Tp link maxed out at 100mbps. Cudy goes up to my spectrum maximum of 600mbps getting me 650mbps speeds. Tp-link would drop wifi signal constantly, cudy is a strong signal 24/7, never drops. Wifi download speeds hit 470mbps. Ethernet speeds I hit above my spectrum maximum, getting 650mbps so it likely will hit gigabit speeds easily if you have that from your Internet provider.

I configured it in WISP mode on both 2.4GHz and 5GHz networks, and then set up a Mesh network with the HALO H80. It works correctly. It’s one of the few devices that is easy to configure and reasonably priced. It’s true that other models outperform it, but this is the only one that offers WISP mode

Works and has good range. Can be used in 4 or 5 different modes like travel routers to connect to the Internet through a wan, other wifi, etc

I am using Cudy Ax3000 in wisp mode. The effort to get this mode set up seamed difficult. This is not a popular mode.

Compact, inexpensive, good performance for the price, easy to install OpenWRT. Wifi 6 only, 7 not expected at this price. Only real drawback is the bright LEDs. I was able to get them to stop blinking but not to just turn off. I put a book in front of it.

Ho comprato questo Cudy WR3000 principalmente per usarlo come access point aggiuntivo nella mia rete di casa. Il router principale è un Fritz! e il segnale non arrivava bene in garage e in giardino, così l’ho collegato via cavo Ethernet e l’ho messo in modalità AP. Configurazione fatta in 5 minuti dall’interfaccia web, tutto in italiano e senza manuali strani. Da allora è una bomba: sul 5 GHz prendo 850-900 Mbps stabili anche a 8 metri di distanza con due muri in mezzo, e il 2.4 GHz tiene senza problemi tutte le lampadine, telecamere e sensori. Con 25-30 dispositivi connessi contemporaneamente non fa una piega, zero lag nemmeno quando scarico file grossi o guardo Netflix in 4K. Il beamforming e l’OFDMA si sentono davvero, il segnale è pulito e potente. Niente surriscaldamento, niente riavvii random, funziona e basta. Per 39 euro è un affare pazzesco, meglio di tanti extender o repeater di marche più blasonate che ho provato prima. Se vi serve espandere la rete senza spendere 100-150 euro, prendetelo a occhi chiusi. Io l’ho già consigliato a due amici. 5 stelle meritate al 100%! 👍

Great!

Bom produto, valeu a pena!

El router es compratíble con easymesh, no fui capaz de conectarlo al router de digi. He configurado el router con un repetetidor de la misma marca, lo he configurado con wifi mesh. He configurado el servidor dns en el router sin problemas. Tanto el router como el repetidor funcionan bien, no como el router de digi, que a veces se cortaban las descargas constantemente o no cargaban las imágenes. En un telefono, cuando cambias de ubicacion no cambia el wifi, lo que hace que puedas tener poca cobertura hasta que pierdes la señal. En otros telefonos, la tablet, la computadora, el mesh funciona perfecto. El router es muy configurable, se le puede instalar openwrt, hay actualizaciones, soporte easymesh que no me ha funcionado. Me parece buena compra.

Bought this router after my previous one that’d lasted for a fair few years, decided to conk out. What I’ve bought with this one is actually a superior replacement. Fully featured and fast to set up, it’s been a good experience. It didn’t take long to get to the same stage as my previous setup - a mix of wired and wireless connections. I was also looking for a router that enabled me to put alternative firmware on it. It’s possible to put OpenWRT on it, but to be fair the GUI is that good and fully functional, I’ve just not bothered. Signal quality and connection overall has been sound. Overall, a great router, and given its price, superb value for money.
