Cudy WR3000S AX3000 Dual Band WiFi 6 Mesh Router, 5 Gigabit Ethernet RJ45 Ports, 4 Antennas, MU-MIMO, OpenVPN, Wireguard, Zerotier, Ipsec VPN, Cloud APP

The connection is great. The speed and strength is what I was looking for. Very easy to setup.

Router works great.....better range than the old one. It was easy to setup.

This caught my eye because of the price and it was one of the few wifi6 routers that openwrt supports. Setup was easy, just flash their signed openwrt image and then update it to the newest openwrt. The stock firmware is based off openwrt and they provide the source code which is really nice. I was worried as i had never heard of them before, but im glad i bought it. Wifi speeds have been great and rock solid. The stock firmware is decent, but i felt it lacked some basic things, but enough options for your avg person. With openwrt you get all sorts of stuff you can use. I wish it had a little more storage or a usb port so it could load stuff off of there. Also you cant brick it, theres a built in recovery mode you can trigger and it lets you flash stock back to it.

I got this to replace an aging WRT32X with OpenWrt installed. The WRT32X wasn’t having any big issues, but this came across on Vine and thought I would give it a shot. I’ll relegate the Wrt32X to maybe running Klipper. I don’t use the WiFi on this router bc I have a mesh system acting as an AP behind it. I can’t really attest to the WiFi performance, admittedly. But this router works well for my needs, which is as a router and firewall. The biggest pros to this router for me were: A) the out of the box firmware supports VPN (open vpn and wireguard) in a relatively straightforward manner. When I originally installed OpenWRT on my wrt32X I had to do quite a bit to get those to work. I actually suspect that the stock firmware is a reskinned OpenWrt but I haven’t confirmed: B) semi factory sanctioned OpenWRT. While they say that they won’t support it once flashed to OpenWRT, they have a link on the company website to the openwrt image. I will eventually install OpenWRT on it but I wanted to test the stock firmware first. C) the CPU on this router is quite fast, although the 256MB of RAM isn’t spectacular. The management UI is pretty responsive and I’ve noticed a subjective improvement in performance on my devices on my network. D) The footprint of the device is small. Consumer wifi routers have been getting bigger and bigger with huge antennas and such. E) the stock management UI is… ok. Some quirks here and there (static dhcp address leases, for example) but generally ok even for the non-tech savvy person: I think that for the price this router is pretty good. The only real downsides I can think of is no USB port and I don’t know about the longevity of it. I remember having plenty of cheap routers die fairly quickly (like within 2-3 years) since they’re on 24/7. This one might go that way. But only time will tell.

Flashed my Cudy Wifi Router with OpenWRT and it's been a fast, reliable wireless access point ever since. Out of the box this router fires up quickly and flashing with OpenWRT is relatively straight-forward. I cannot speak to the factory software for general use, but I can definitely say this unit runs well with OpenWRT and I've had zero issues.

I have worked with many routers of the past 25 years, I am very impressed with the WIFI speed and how well the add on Mesh unit works, I think the interface is very straight forward and very easy to set up the MAC/IP binding is, Plus the port forwarding is very simple. For the price it works great!

This is a great router. It supports OpenWRT. It has 128MB ROM, 256MB ram, and 1.3 GHz dual CPU. It's also a WiFi 6 router. Can't beat that for under $60.

Easy, simple to use especially with mesh, but not simple to protect it from the internet. Disabling Administration remote access doesn't disable wan facing webui. This and many more TCP ports are all exposed on Internet : 0,21, 22,23, 79, 110, 113, 119, 143, 389, 443, 1002, 1024. I'm going to try the openwrt and see how well that works. Please standby...

Very strong signal throughout the whole house...great upgrade from my old router.

Il réussit à faire passer du Gigabit via un câble là où des Netgear GS108Ev4 ont échoué. Il est officiellement supporté par OpenWRT et la procédure d'installation est très simple. Difficile de faire mieux pour une cinquantaine d'Euros !

This router easy to set up works perfect good signal and easy to get the 5G

Totalmente satisfecho. No esperaba que fuera un producto tan bueno y óptimo para extender señales wifi y extensiones Lan-Ethernet. Funciona a la altura de un router de compañía telefónica.
