AX3000 Gigabit Mesh Wi-Fi 6 Router, 4X GbE, 160MHz, VPN Full, WR3000

Nice router with many features. Fast connections, compatible with all of my devices and easy setup. Love the UI (logged in from laptop using browser). I did not use the app for the phone, altho I may some day. I find the browser UI preferable to the functionality in an app as it has all the advanced features I was looking for. Super happy with this purchase.

The router is incredibly fast and was very easy to set up. I have not had any issues connecting to it even on another floor. I use it as an access point, and it is just like i am near the actual router.

Bought to bridge from my ISP modem. It seems to run a custom version of OpenWRT out of the box. They gave the option to flash to the vanilla version which I did so I could customize it a bit. Flashing was not too difficult and took less than 2 minutes to do after initializing. And of course, before attempting to flash please read the documentation first (hint: you need ethernet, WiFi will be disabled). So far it's been pretty good. WiFi 6 with good speeds both on 2.4 and 5GHz bands. I run in WPA3/WPA2 mixed modes for older device support. The wonderful maintainers for this model on OpenWRT is quite active and has released this year's version. The router only has 4 Ethernet ports at the back, 1 will be occupied for the WAN, this leaving with 3 for your devices. If you have more than 3 then you'll need to invest in a switch. I just wished it had a bit more space (both RAM and flash storage). That's one of my cavets. So only can be used as a little access point. For the money it's worth it. A lot powerful, modern and versatile than the TP-Link Archer AC series.

Easy set up, working fine, no complaints

Easy setup, work well!

Quick rule of thumb for OpenWrt buyers, learned the hard way: White + V1 → good for OpenWrt. Black + anything other than V1 → not good for OpenWrt. The unit shipped to me was the WR3000 V2, and it was black (not the white router I was picturing). Mainline OpenWrt is a no‑go on the V2 — if flashing OpenWrt is the whole reason you're buying, this revision is a dead end. In fairness, the listing looks like it's been updated since I ordered — the title now spells out "WR3000 V2.0" and the photos appear to show the black unit. So read the current title carefully: if it says V2 (or V3), assume no OpenWrt. Want a Cudy in this family that's actually OpenWrt‑friendly? Buy one that only has a V1 as of today (July 2026): WR3000S, WR3000H, or WR3000P — all three are V1‑only, so you're far less likely to get blindsided, unlike the plain WR3000 (V1/V2/V3) and the WR3000E (V1/V2). Caveat even on those: "V1‑only" doesn't guarantee identical internals — Cudy has quietly swapped parts on some V1 boards (the flash chip especially) without a new version number, so check the full label on the bottom (model + region + version, e.g. "WR3000 EU 2.0") and confirm current OpenWrt support before you flash. Now the fair part — on stock firmware, it's a decent box for the price. The stock firmware is actually a custom OpenWrt base, but Cudy locks it down — no SSH option, so you don't get OpenWrt's under‑the‑hood access even though it's sitting right there underneath. The Cudy web GUI is simple, and yet it does most of what a typical user actually wants without fuss. It ships with mesh turned on, but I found no setting to choose the mesh type — so it's clearly meant to just auto‑mesh with other Cudy routers (turnkey Cudy Mesh) rather than let you tune it. So if you're not chasing OpenWrt and just want a solid Wi‑Fi 6 router that plays nicely with other Cudy gear, this is a reasonable buy. Bottom line: white + V1 = go for OpenWrt; black + not‑V1 = don't. But as a plug‑and‑play stock router for the price, it's genuinely fine.

I bought this to feed my Verizon home internet in to and get more ports. That dumb cube has only 2 hardwire ports on it so I needed something to get me more plugs, and broadcast the wifi from my Verizon out to the rest of the house. It is a nice price and really broadcasts out well. I am extremely happy with my purchase. The menu inside the guts of this thing is very well designed and easy access to what is needed, be it ports, settings, whatever. I love the Cudy's setup inside over everything I have seen prior. I didn't bother taking photos of this, but it's very small footprint makes it very handy to put anywhere you wish. The 4 antennas gives it the good broadcasting we all know and love to use the wifi. Internet speeds stay up really well, and consistently match the Cubes speeds apples to apples. I wouldn't hesitate to pull the trigger on this one if your looking for a great wifi device as this one is excellent - highly recommended!

UPDATE: April 2025 (4 months old) Broke. Waiting for support to get back “within 2 days” I just configured mine with NordVPN and set everything up. It’s so easy to configure! Of course, I don’t have the fastest internet speeds on the block because of the VPN but I’m able to stream shows in 4K and downloads to my computer are still fast. Even if you have a gamer in the house, you’re able to simply remove a checkbox to exclude that gaming device from under VPN coverage. This router has everything. I’m really impressed. Even the mobile app is very easy to use.

Ho comprato questo Cudy WR3000 principalmente per usarlo come access point aggiuntivo nella mia rete di casa. Il router principale è un Fritz! e il segnale non arrivava bene in garage e in giardino, così l’ho collegato via cavo Ethernet e l’ho messo in modalità AP. Configurazione fatta in 5 minuti dall’interfaccia web, tutto in italiano e senza manuali strani. Da allora è una bomba: sul 5 GHz prendo 850-900 Mbps stabili anche a 8 metri di distanza con due muri in mezzo, e il 2.4 GHz tiene senza problemi tutte le lampadine, telecamere e sensori. Con 25-30 dispositivi connessi contemporaneamente non fa una piega, zero lag nemmeno quando scarico file grossi o guardo Netflix in 4K. Il beamforming e l’OFDMA si sentono davvero, il segnale è pulito e potente. Niente surriscaldamento, niente riavvii random, funziona e basta. Per 39 euro è un affare pazzesco, meglio di tanti extender o repeater di marche più blasonate che ho provato prima. Se vi serve espandere la rete senza spendere 100-150 euro, prendetelo a occhi chiusi. Io l’ho già consigliato a due amici. 5 stelle meritate al 100%! 👍

Ich bin absolut begeistert von diesem Router! Die Einrichtung war kinderleicht, selbst für jemanden, der kein Technikprofi ist. Innerhalb weniger Minuten war alles angeschlossen und konfiguriert. Besonders beeindruckt hat mich, wie unkompliziert sich OpenVPN und WireGuard einrichten lassen. So sind jetzt alle meine Geräte automatisch über den VPN geschützt, ohne dass ich auf jedem Gerät extra etwas installieren muss – genial! Auch die WLAN-Leistung ist spürbar besser als bei meinem bisherigen Router vom Internetanbieter (ein teureres Markenmodell). In den Räumen, wo ich vorher schon gutes Signal hatte, ist es jetzt einfach noch etwas stärker und stabiler – auf allen Geräten volle Balken! Für diesen Preis ist das einfach unschlagbar und starke Leistung, einfache Bedienung und moderne Sicherheitsfunktionen in einem Gerät. Ich kann diesen Router wirklich jedem empfehlen, der eine zuverlässige, schnelle und sichere WLAN-Lösung sucht.

Great!

Excelente

El router es compratíble con easymesh, no fui capaz de conectarlo al router de digi. He configurado el router con un repetetidor de la misma marca, lo he configurado con wifi mesh. He configurado el servidor dns en el router sin problemas. Tanto el router como el repetidor funcionan bien, no como el router de digi, que a veces se cortaban las descargas constantemente o no cargaban las imágenes. En un telefono, cuando cambias de ubicacion no cambia el wifi, lo que hace que puedas tener poca cobertura hasta que pierdes la señal. En otros telefonos, la tablet, la computadora, el mesh funciona perfecto. El router es muy configurable, se le puede instalar openwrt, hay actualizaciones, soporte easymesh que no me ha funcionado. Me parece buena compra.
