How to customize wireless settings on Cudy router?

The router's Wi-Fi name(SSID), Wi-Fi password and security options are pre-configured. The default SSID and password can be found on the device label. You can modify the wireless settings according to your needs.


Step 1: Open a web browser and go to http://cudy.net  or http://192.168.10.1. Use "admin" as a password to log in.
For details, please refer to How to log into the web interface of Cudy Router?

 

Step 2: Go to General Settings->Wireless page.

Smart Connect:
When Smart Connect is enabled, the router’s 2.4GHz and 5GHz networks share the same SSID (network name) and password.


Wireless 2.4G or 5G:
The 2.4GHz or 5GHz wireless network should be enabled. Simply uncheck the box if you don't want to use the wireless feature. All wireless settings won't work if the wireless function is disabled.


Wireless SSID and password:
Enter the new Wi-Fi name and Wi-Fi password you want to change.

Note: If you use a wireless device to change the wireless settings, you will be disconnected.


Encryption:
No Encryption, WPA-PSK, WPA2-PSK, WPA-PSK/WPA2-PSK (Recommend), WPA2-PSK/WPA3-SAE, WPA3-SAE.
Note: We don’t recommend you to change the default settings unless necessary.


Mode:
2.4GHz: 802.11b, 802.11b+g, 802.11b+g+n, 802.11b+g+n+ax
5GHz: 802.11a, 802.11a+n, 802.11a+n+ac, 802.11a+n+ac+ax
Note: If you find some clients have problems connecting to 5GHz of Wi-Fi 6 router, please update the client's wireless network card driver to the latest version. If still have problems, please adjust the wireless mode of the router to 5GHz (802.11a+n+ac).


Channel:
'Auto' by default. Select the channel you want to use from the drop-down list. This field determines which operating frequency will be used. It is not necessary to change the wireless channel unless you notice interference problems.


Channel Width:
'Auto' by default. Select the channel width from the drop-down list if necessary.
2.4GHz: 20MHz or 40MHz
5GHz: 20MHz, 40MHz or 80MHz


Transmit Power:
Maximum, Middle or Minimum
By default, it is 'Maximum', if you change to others, the Wi-Fi signal will decrease.
Note: We don’t recommend you to change the default settings unless necessary.


Hidden Network:
If you enable Hidden SSID, your SSID won't broadcast. When you search for local wireless networks, your SSID won't show up on your wireless device's Wi-Fi list, so you'll have to manually join the network.

@Estimado Reinaldo,
Por favor, ve a “Ajustes generales” — “Conexiones inalámbricas” para cambiar la contraseña de Wi-Fi. También puedes intentar usar la aplicación Cudy para administrar el router. Será más fácil hacerlo a través de la aplicación Cudy.

@Cher Jonathan,
Veuillez vous rendre dans « Paramètres généraux » puis « Sans fil » pour modifier le mot de passe Wi-Fi. Vous pouvez également essayer d’utiliser l’application Cudy pour gérer votre routeur. Ce sera plus simple avec l’application.

@Dear Hein,
Thank you very much for you detailed feedback. We will provide your feedback to our R&D team. We will try to improve this situation in the future.

“Hi,

I’d like to report that the WR3600 mesh functionality is worse than having a group of APs in standalone mode. My two are connected via cable.

There is no benefit in having my two WR3600s meshed apart from just the config being applied to both units.

Drawbacks:
The biggest issue is that the two WR3600s keep on choosing the same channel. My IOT devices on 2.4GHz kept on dropping connection, perhaps because all of them are talking on the same band. This is silly. I’ve raised this before, but Cudy have not yet been able to fix this. Breaking my mesh into standalone units has resulted in a much better wireless experience for me. My device now all connect happily.

I can’t see from my main unit to which band a device connects to on another unit. After having two separate instances, I could see that some devices were connected to a band I didn’t want and I could correct this. This was not visible when in mesh mode.

Local latency, I.E. from my phone to default gateway also dropped from 70ms (Mesh) to about 6ms (standalone). This is while being about 7m away from my AP. No other change was made apart from going standalone.

I hope this helps someone else as I was about to replace my WR3600s. My experience is now much improved."
