@Dear Paweł,
Yes, you can. You can choose on of the M3000 to be the main mesh device. Then set it to working on the Mesh Access Point mode. Connect it to the network. Then reset all other Cudy devices to factory default. For the second M3000, please connect to the WAN port to the network. For the APs, please connect to the network directly. The Mesh system will be install automatically.

@Dear Kamil,
Yes, you can. Cudy mesh system supports Wired Backhaul. You can connect the WAN port of the satellite to the main mesh. It will work.

“Hi,
I have four wr3600e routers. One set as main router, and three as sattelites in wifi mesh mode. Can I connect one of them also with ethernet cable, to main router, to have better connection. This one is outside the building, and has low signal. BR Kamil”

Dear Mionain, 1. What is the backhaul type between the main mesh AP and other APs? Wired or Wireless? 2. Is the problem on 2.4GHz or 5GHz or both? 3. When the problem occurs again, please login to the web page of the router, download the Diagnosis bin file in "Diagnostic Tools"->"Diagnosis"->"GO"->"Download", and send the file to me. My email address is samcudy.com.

“I have a Cudy AP3000 mesh network controller installed, and six AP1300 access points are connected to it via mesh networking. Wi-Fi is constantly disconnecting on mobile devices, both on the main Wi-Fi network and on the guest network. In extended mode, the phone displays the following error: “NETWORK_SELECTION_DISABLED_AUTHENTICATION_FAILED=3 NETWORK_SELECTION_DISABLED DHCP_FAILURE=1”

Meanwhile, the main router shows everything is fine, and none of the access points have disconnected from the mesh network. Computers are working reliably, but phones are constantly disconnecting. All access points are running the latest firmware. Could you please tell me what to do?"
