Select Mesh Backhaul
Satellite Mesh devices can be configured to operate only in wired backhaul mode
This helps prevent possible loops: when multiple Cudy APs are powered by a PoE switch, and the PoE switch is powered off and on, some APs may establish wireless backhaul and provides network from the LAN port, causing loop similar as such topology switch1 -- AP1 ))(( AP2 -- switch1

Dear Cudy Support,

I would like to report a driver compatibility issue affecting the Cudy BE6500 Tri-Band Wi-Fi 7 USB 3.0 Adapter.

Hardware

Product: Cudy BE6500 Tri-Band Wi-Fi 7 USB 3.0 Adapter Chipset: Realtek RTL8912AU Operating System: Windows 11 (64-bit) Router: Cudy WR11000 V1.0 Router Firmware: 2.2.25-20251112-095400

The driver included on the adapter (version 5002.24.117.4) works correctly, but the adapter only connects using 802.11ax (Wi-Fi 6) even when connected to a Wi-Fi 7 (802.11be) network.

After manually updating the driver to 5102.24.126.0 (Driver Date: 31-Dec-2024), the adapter works perfectly and Windows correctly reports:

Radio type: 802.11be Band: 5 GHz WPA3-Personal (H2E) Stable operation

This confirms that driver version 5102.24.126.0 correctly enables Wi-Fi 7 operation on this adapter.

However, updating the driver to 5102.24.126.7 (Driver Date: 18-Nov-2025) causes serious problems.

After installing version 5102.24.126.7:

Windows no longer recognizes the adapter correctly. The adapter appears as a generic USB device instead of a network adapter. Device Manager initially reports Code 38:
“Windows cannot load the device driver for this hardware because a previous instance of the device driver is still in memory.” After performing a complete shutdown, the Code 38 error disappears, but the adapter still fails to operate correctly. Initially, no wireless networks are detected (`netsh wlan show networks interface=“Wi-Fi 2”` reports 0 visible networks). The only way to restore normal operation is to manually reinstall driver version 5102.24.126.0.

At this point the adapter is working normally again using driver version 5102.24.126.0, including proper 802.11be operation.

Could you please confirm:

1. Is driver version 5102.24.126.7 officially supported for the Cudy BE6500 adapter?
2. Are you aware of any compatibility issues between this driver version and the BE6500 hardware revision?
3. Are you planning to release an updated official driver that supports Wi-Fi 7 (802.11be) while maintaining compatibility with this adapter?

Thank you for your assistance.

Kind regards,

Paul

Dear Cudy Support Team,
I am reaching out to report multiple critical issues with my home mesh network setup that are causing significant disruption. I have set up a full-house mesh network using four Cudy routers, all connected via Ethernet backhaul (cable connection).
My Network Topology:
Main Router: Cudy M3000 (Firmware: 2.5.10)
2nd Node: Cudy M1200 (Firmware: 2.5.11b)
3rd Node:Cudy M1500 (Firmware: 2.3.9)
4th Node:Cudy M1300 (Firmware: 2.5.14b)
Problem 1: Internet Dropout on 3rd Node (M1500) After Power Cycle of 2nd Node
Scenario:
The Main Router (M3000) and the 2nd Node (M1200) are connected to Power Source A.
The 3rd Node (M1500) and 4th Node (M1300) are connected to Power Source B.
The connection flow is: Main Router → 2nd Node → 3rd Node → 4th Node (All via Ethernet cable).
The Issue:
When there is a power outage on Power Source A, the 2nd Node (M1200) goes offline. When this happens, the 3rd Node (M1500) completely loses internet connectivity, and its LED light turns RED. Even though devices remain connected to the M1500, there is no internet access.
Interestingly, the 4th Node (M1300), which is daisy-chained via cable from the 3rd Node (M1500), continues to work fine.
Currently, the only temporary solution is to manually reboot/reset the 3rd Node (M1500). Once rebooted, everything returns to normal until the next power disruption on the 2nd node.

Note: I previously upgraded the M1500 to Firmware 2.3.11Beta hoping to fix this, but the issue persisted, so I downgraded it back to 2.3.9. The problem remains unresolved on both firmware versions.

Problem 2: Client Traffic Not Displaying on 3rd Node (M1500)
This is a follow-up to a previous query that was left unanswered. When I log into the web interface/app and check the client list specifically on the 3rd Node (M1500), it does not display any data traffic or network statistics for the connected devices.

Problem 3: Client Customization (Name/Brand/Type) Not Syncing Across Nodes
When I try to edit or change the device type, brand, or client name in the client list, the changes do not save or sync properly. If I make the changes on the Main Router’s dashboard, it shows correctly there. However, on the dashboards of the 2nd (M1200), 3rd (M1500), and 4th (M1300) routers, the client info reverts or stays exactly as it was originally. The customization does not apply to the sub-nodes.
These ongoing issues are causing a lot of inconvenience and frustration in my daily usage. I kindly request your technical team to thoroughly analyze this behavior and provide a solution, firmware patch, or configuration fix as soon as possible.
Looking forward to your swift response.
Best regards,
Abir Hasan Riad
