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

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.

@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.”

@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”
