Premium Wi-Fi 6 with 2.5G Port
Impress your customers with fast and responsive Wi-Fi with multi-gig bandwidth, enabled by the highest 160 MHz channel width in Wi-Fi 6. A shielded 2.5G Ethernet port allows more devices to stream simultaneously without buffering, even in a complex electromagnetic environment.
Connects 512 Devices with 512 MB RAM
1.3 GHz dual-core CPU, large RAM, and the upgraded UL/DL MU-MIMO and OFDMA technologies significantly reduce transmission latency to and from the AP when connecting multiple devices.
5 Antennas and 3+2 Strucutre Boost Coverage
Five antennas plus 3+2 structure create more paths to bypass obstacles. Beamforming tracks connected devices' directions and boosts signal towards them.
Seamless Coverage with Fast Roaming
Mesh support (802.11k/v) allows clients to switch between access points seamlessly, ensuring uninterrupted Wi-Fi calling or live streaming when moving around. This feature requires a Cudy Wi-Fi router/VPN router/access point controller as a gateway with firmware newer than 15.28.
Captive Portal
Improve your brand awareness by displaying a customized login page for new clients (AP1200/AP1300 models will soon support this feature).
Band Steering
Assign devices to less congested bands.
Auto Channel Selection
Avoid signal interruptions with nearby access points.
Auto Mesh Optimization
Form mesh backhaul via less congested routes automatically.
Access Point
Simply create a Wi-Fi spot behind a router.
Wi-Fi Router
Please use the Router mode when PPPoE authorization or creating a separate subnet is needed.
Range Extender
The Wi-Fi Extender (repeater) mode extends existing Wi-Fi coverage to hard-to-cover areas.
WISP
WISP extends Wi-Fi but creates a subnet for connected devices, so it's safer than extender mode.
