@Ahmed,
Dear Ahmed,
Sorry to tell you that WR6500 doesn’t support Mesh function now. We have plan to add this feature next month. Please wait. For now, if you plan to connect them via wired cable, you can set the WR3000 to the Access Point mode, then connect to the WR6500’s LAN port. If you plan to connect them via WiFi, you can set the WR3000 to the Wireless extender mode to connect the 5GHz WiFi of WR6500. It will work too. Then you will be able to update the new firmware to support mesh function when the new firmware release.

“I want to setup a mesh network between wr6500 (main) and my old wr3000 (satellite) but there’s no + sign on the setup page for the wr6500.
Is it possible to add that feature? If not available already and I just can’t find it. Because it’s mentioned on the product page for the wr6500 that it supports whole home mesh.”

Thank you for contacting Cudy support team.
Yes, you can. Please reset the WR1300 to factory default. Then connect the WAN port of the WR1300 to the LAN port of the LT12 via cable. The mesh system will installed automatically.

@Xavier,
Dear Customer,
We have developed new firmware of WR1500 like other Cudy routers. It will be very easy to install Cudy mesh as the instruction on this article. I have sent you the firmware and instruction via email. Please refer to the instruction attached to update the firmware then reinstall the router and install mesh with them.

“I have 2 wr1500 routers running with the last firmware, both have de easymesh option, I want to connect them in a mesh network, but the interface is so diferent that the showed here, please help me to connect them properly to have a mesh network. Thanks”
