@Dear Fazlee,
It is normal. m3000 will use the same channel as the main Wi-Fi when working on Range Extender mode. If you want it back. You can set it back to Wireless Router or Access Point mode.
“I have cudy m3000 v2 as wifi extender mode. I was able to change bands and channels from cudy router page but now I dont see the options to change bands anymore. Is anyone else having the same issue. I want the options back please cudy..”

@Dear Wilfredo，
Estimado Wilfredo:
Por favor, elige uno de los M3000 y configúralo como punto de acceso. Luego, conéctalo al router wifi principal. Además, puedes configurar el mismo SSID, tipo de cifrado (como WPA2-PSK/WPA3-SAE) y contraseña wifi. Funcionará como deseas.
“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!"
