Hi,
Thank you for your prompt reply.
I am deciding between the WR3000P and WR6500H as the main unit/router in my mesh system, along with the AP3000 Outdoor and AP3000 as APs. Will the entire system work on Wi-Fi 6 or within the range of the WR6500H Wi-Fi 7, and outside its range, Wi-Fi 6? Is it better to connect the APs to the main router with cables or wirelessly?
What do you recommend? And since the APs will be powered over PoE, what PoE switch do you recommend for this setting?
Thank you.
Matt
“@Dear Matt,
For now, yes, but you need to update the firmware to the new firmware which we can send it to you. Please check the model of your BE6500 router first. Is it WR6500H or WR6500?
Hi,
Can a Wi-Fi 7 Router (BE6500) be connected to a Wi-Fi 6 AP (Outdoor AX3000)?
Thanks.
Matt”

@Dear Oli,
Cudy AP1300 can only install mesh system with Cudy product. If the speed is slow, may be there is some limit on the main router. You can try to set it to the Wireless Router mode and check.
“Recently installed an AP1300 in AP mode. Served via CAT 7 ethernet cable attached to the main internet router of the Internet Provider (diffrent brand). DIdn’t realize, that mesh is default while AP mode setup of the cudy. May mesh disturb, i.e. slow down connection of attached devices?”
