Dear Customer,
Thanks for contacting the Cudy support team. I need some information.
WR11000 only support to work as the main Mesh device now. So you can’t install mesh with two WR11000. But we have plan to add satellite Mesh function recently. Please wait patiently. For now, you can set the second on to work on the Access Point mode and set the same WiFi name and password.

@Dear Kurt,
Thanks for contacting the Cudy support team.
Sorry to tell you that WR11000 only support to work as main mesh. But doesn’t support to work as satellite mesh. So you can install mesh system with two WR11000. Do you plan to install Mesh network with them via cable or WiFi. If cable, please try to set the second one to be the Wireless Access Point mode. As shown below. We will update the new firmware in future to support mesh. If via WiFi, I suggest you to buy a WR6500 to replace the WR11000 to work as the satellite mesh, or you can wait for the new firmware of WR11000
