Hello, after setting up the WISP mode I cannot connect to cudy.net anymore. How to access the web interface?
@Prag
Dear Customer,
Thank you for contacting Cudy support team.
Generally, we suggest you to set the router to WISP mode to repeater the public wifi hotspots.
But you can also have a try.

@Wireless Extender mode,
Dear Customer,
Thanks for contacting the Cudy support team.
Yes, we have plan to add this mode on next firmware update. But I can’t for sure about the time. It will need about 1~2 months.
