Cudy AX3000 2.5G WiFi 6 Wireless Access Point, 2.5Gbps RJ45, Business WiFi Solution, Mesh Support, Seamless Roaming & MU-MIMO, PoE or DC Powered, AP3000

High quality device, COMES WITH DC ADAPTER, easy and clean mounting, very good signal throughout the house. Will likely install a second one in the future.

it is a good AP and provides good coverage and a reliable connection. One star removed because the design has a flaw. For many, the POE cable will come through the box and not a hole or raceway near the box. The mounting plate forms 2 perfect seals with the AP meaning any cable coming from the gang box is trapped. To remedy this, I had to remove a section of the mounting plate between a lock tab and pressure tab to allow the wire to pass through, albeit a bit compressed. I think subsequent designs should take this into account.

Just installed this today; it was fast and easy, and setting it up online was simple with the quick startup. I recommend updating the firmware immediately to get more features. If you don't know how to do that, you shouldn't be using your own router. What sold me is that the company is a startup from ex TP-Link employees and it's not a major brand, and the second reason is that the firmware is based on OpenWRT, so I don't have to install OpenWRT.

Easy setup, works with standard poe+ switches. No need for extra proprietary power injectors via Ethernet. Very basic and easy to use GUI. Very consistent speeds throughout the basement, 1st floor, and 2nd floor of my house. It just works without too many bells and whistles that are not needed or overcomplicating.

Larger than a salad bowl… I cannot say much about performance, because I’m returning it.

Good access point

I bought this AP as part of a home network overhaul. I’m wiring as many devices as possible with Ethernet, but still need fast, reliable WiFi for handhelds, convenience, and an ever-growing list of IoT devices. My network is mostly TP-Link gear, but I wanted to branch out and give a different brand a shot. Likewise, the price for this AP was a bit better than an equivalent TP Link model but not dramatically. I think I paid $80 at the time for this Cudy unit and the same style with TP Link ranged betweeen $100-120. I knew I wouldn’t have the same native integration as with TP-Link, but I’m always rooting for the underdog. If the device is good, then I’ve still got a product I’m happy with, I get to support a competitive market, help out an up and coming brand, and save a few bucks in the process. Unfortunately, this underdog didn’t meet expectations. Setup of the Cudy unit was quick and easy, even alongside my TP-Link backbone. You connect to the Cudy’s setup SSID via smartphone, run through the wizard, and then connect it to your network via Ethernet. It offers multiple modes, like router or access point — I’m using it as an AP. Once initial setup is complete and unit is connected, you can access and adjust the settings from any device on the network through the assigned IP. I recommend setting a static IP to the AP. Functionally, it works — at first. But after a few days of uptime, WiFi reliability drops sharply. Severe packet loss. Streaming devices struggle. Multi-room Alexa audio randomly drops or goes out of sync. Speeds tank to almost nothing. A quick restart fixes everything… until it happens again. Over time, performance consistently degrades to the point of being unusable without a reboot. I’ll be replacing this with a PoE TP-Link AP and regret not getting one from the start.

Un excelente producto que cumple todas mis expectativas.

Easy to set up .. mesh with other same brand product to create seamless network .. no faults so far

Simple installation. Good range and speed indoor. Unfortunately not compatible with outdoor accesspoint for mesh network. Size is pretty big.

Fa bene il suo lavoro, e la configurazione è molto semplice, lo sto alimentando direttamente da una porta del router

Cumple su funcion, facil de instalar y programar

Ich habe den Cudy Access Point gekauft, um mein WLAN im Obergeschoss und Garten zu erweitern, und bin absolut begeistert. **Was mir besonders gefällt:** * **Kinderleichte Einrichtung:** Die Installation war innerhalb von wenigen Minuten erledigt. Die Benutzeroberfläche ist übersichtlich und auch für Laien leicht verständlich. * **Hervorragende Reichweite & Stabilität:** Das Signal ist extrem stark und reicht problemlos durch dicke Betonwände. Endlich keine Verbindungsabbrüche mehr beim Kochen oder im Garten. * **Geschwindigkeit:** Die Datenübertragung ist top. 4K-Streaming, Homeoffice und Gaming laufen parallel absolut flüssig und ohne spürbare Verzögerungen (Ping-Zeiten sind minimal). * **Design & Verarbeitung:** Das Gerät ist kompakt, unauffällig und fühlt sich hochwertig an. Auch die Stromversorgung über PoE (Power over Ethernet) klappt super, wodurch man sich ein zusätzliches Stromkabel spart. **Fazit:** Wer eine zuverlässige und schnelle WLAN-Erweiterung sucht, ohne ein Vermögen für die großen, bekannten Marken auszugeben, ist hier genau richtig. Cudy liefert hier echte Premium-Qualität zum Budget-Preis. Fünf verdiente Sterne!
