This article will guide you to open an extra Wi-Fi for your guests. It will only provide an internet connection and separately from the main network. For example, when you connect to the guest network, the device cannot access the local network, unable to log into the web interface, etc.
Note: Guest Network doesn't available in Access Point Mode.
Step 1: Open a web browser and go to http://cudy.net or http://192.168.10.1.
For details, please refer to How to log into the web interface of Cudy Router?
Step 2: Go to Advanced Settings->Guest Network.
Step 3: Create a 2.4GHz or 5GHz guest network according to your needs.
The default guest network is an open Wi-Fi named 'Cudy-Guest-2.4G' or 'Cudy-Guest-5G'.
Step 4: Set Encryption to WPA-PSK/WPA2-PSK Mixed Mode, then set an easy-to-remember password.
Step 5: 'Save & Apply' the settings. Now you can access your guest network using the SSID and password you set.
Don't enable Hidden Network unless you want to manually input this SSID for Wi-Fi access.

It would be wonderful if you enable Guest Mode on m3000 while they are on Access Point Mode!
@Dear Md Mahfuzur,
Thank you for your kindly advice! We will provide your feedback to the product department for evaluation.
“Dear Cudy Support Team,
I am writing regarding my Cudy AX3000 WR3000S router and the functionality of the Guest Network. I have a specific requirement and would appreciate your guidance, or if necessary, a firmware update that enables this capability.
Here is what I would like to achieve:
Limit internet speed for all Guest Network users
I want anyone who connects to the Guest Network to automatically receive a reduced bandwidth (for example, limited download/upload speed). This would ensure that my main/Home Wi-Fi users always receive full performance, while guest users receive a controlled speed.
Allow open access to the Guest Network through QR code sharing
I share my Guest Network via QR code, so I want guests to be able to join easily. For this reason, I cannot enable MAC filtering on the guest network.
Apply connection restrictions only to guest users
I want to set rules such as:
Speed limit
Connection time limit
Allowed hours of access
These policies should apply only to guest devices, not to the main network.
MAC filtering must remain enabled only on the main network
To prevent password sharing of the main Wi-Fi, I use MAC filtering there. This is why I cannot use MAC filtering on the guest network.
Additionally, manually binding each guest device’s IP address is not practical. I run this router in a restaurant environment, where many customers connect throughout the day. There is no time to individually manage or bind every new device. I simply want customers to access the guest Wi-Fi freely via the QR code, but with automatically limited, slower speed for all guest users.
At the moment, I cannot find any option in the WR3000S interface to limit bandwidth or apply time/session policies specifically to the Guest Network. Could you please advise if:
This feature already exists and I may have overlooked it,
A different configuration can achieve this behavior, or
This could be added in a future firmware update?
These features would be extremely useful for managing shared/open guest Wi-Fi access while still protecting the performance of the main network.
Thank you for your time and support. I look forward to your response and any possible solution."

@Уважаемый Андрей,
пожалуйста, попробуйте обновить прошивку маршрутизатора до последней версии и проверьте еще раз.
“Здравствуйте.
