Cudy Whole Home Mesh system is built to eliminate dead zones and to provide uninterrupted Wi-Fi throughout your home. This article will guide you to build a mesh system step by step.
Preparation:
1. Ensure you own at least 2 Cudy products.
2. All Cudy products support mesh technology: Home Mesh-Cudy official website
3. Firmware is up-to-date: Download Center
4. Take them in the same room during configuration.
5. Reset all your Cudy products to factory default settings. (With the Power on, press and hold the RESET button with a pin for 6s, then release.)
6. Set up your primary router and make it connect to the internet.
Here we take M1800 and WR2100 as examples:
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: On the System Status page, click on the "+" button.
Step 3: Press the WPS button on the M1800 and then press the WPS button on WR2100.
Main mesh unit: Flash white
Add-on mesh unit: Flash white and red alternately
Step 4: It will go to "Scanning", then " Connecting".
Step 5: Wait until the System LED of the add-on router turns into solid blue, then relocate WR2100.
Step 6: Success and enjoy the mesh network.
Note:
1. 4/5G router can only be set up as a Main mesh unit. For example:
2. You will not able to log into the web interface of the add-on mesh router. If you want to change settings, please click on "System Status"->"Mesh".

Tengo un router del proveedor que me genera una red wifi, tengo tres Cudy M3000 wifi y quiero por medio de cable ethernet repitan la red wifi del router del proveedor con el mismo nombre y la misma contraseña
@Dear John,
1. Please check if the Mesh system is installed. You can login to the web page of the main mesh router, check the “Mesh” status card.
2. If yes, please check the status page of the satellite mesh router. Check if the backhaul is Wired?
3. If the backhaul is wired, please try to change the cable between the two router. Do you connect them directly or there is a switch between them?
4. What is the firmware version of the two routers? Please update to the latest and check again.
“I have two WR11000s which I’m trying to use as a mesh. The main router is connected to 1 Gbps fibre WAN. The secondary router is connected to the main router by wired ethernet (cat 6 cable).
When I plug my laptop into the secondary router with ethernet, I get a great connection (~800+ Mbps, according to speedtest.net). When I connect to the secondary router by wifi, the connection is hopeless — even sitting my laptop right next to the router, I get speeds of just a couple of Mbps, and lots of drop outs. This happens on all bands (2/5/6 GHz).
When I am connected to the main router by wifi, it works fine.
Any suggestions as to what might be going wrong?
Thanks!"

@Dear Kamil,
I think the camera is connected to the 2.4GHz WiFi of the router. You can try to change the mode of 2.4GHz to 802.11b+g+n mode. Then check if the camera is able to connect to it?
“I built a mesh network using four WR3600E routers, and the internet works great. However, this network was meant for cctv monitoring, and that’s where the problem appeared: when the routers are in mesh mode, the cameras won’t log into the network, no matter which WPA level we choose. Only after disabling encryption and the password do the cameras connect to Wi-Fi. The cameras are XMeye. Is there any solution? When connected to lan port everything works. I’ll add that when the router is not in mesh mode, the same camera connects to it normally with wifi. Regards.”
