Community Reviews

This Cudy AX3000 is a budget WiFi 6 router that stands out for easy setup, OpenWrt support, and solid range in some homes. It has worked well with mesh extenders and can cover brick and basement layouts, while the stock firmware makes WireGuard VPN and VPN exceptions simple to manage. The main limits are the 2.5GbE WAN only, no 2.5GbE LAN or USB 3.0, and reports of a device limit around 32 clients on stock firmware. It looks like a practical low cost pick if you do not need heavy multi gigabit LAN use.

  • The router supports OpenWrt flashing, which can enable more advanced networking options beyond stock firmware.

    XDeckerXDecker

  • The router can deliver strong Wi‑Fi reception across a two-story brick home when paired with an AX3000 extender.

    matdave

  • The stock firmware provides a simple WireGuard VPN interface with straightforward VPN exception handling.

    XDecker

  • The router can be easy to configure and may improve range compared with an older ASUS AC68U.

    ahmw

  • Only the WAN port is 2.5GbE, so reaching that bandwidth requires a fast wireless client near the router.

    poorgrad

  • The router can hit a device limit around the low 30s, which may cause slow or flaky behavior.

    XDecker

  • The router lacks 2.5GbE LAN and USB 3.0, which can limit high-speed LAN expansion and USB performance.

    asuka

  • Wi‑Fi range cannot be reliably estimated without testing because building materials and shielding vary widely.

Nice.. good timing, Cudy has actually impressed me with the tr3000 I used to replace a gl-inet 1300.

While not specd quite as high, this is half the price of a flint 2.

Only the wan port is 2.5gbit. it's not going to be easy to actually use that much bandwidth. You'd need to do some combination of usage over the gigabit ports and a fast wireless client close to the router.

I am considering the Flint 2, but this is tempting because I don't really need all that power. I

Wish this was wifi 6e, but at this price not a big deal breaker.

No way to estimate without testing. Building materials and shielding vary wildly. It's got a shot but test and return in the return period if not.

Frustrating it doesn't have 2.5 Gbps LAN and USB 3.0. Especially as Cudy now has USB WAN working in their base firmware.

Go with Flint 2 MT6000. It's more powerful and will get support long time from OpenWRT community. You can buy from Amazon around $113.

Maybe get a multi pack mesh router. Bought an open box like new google nest 3 pack from best buy for around $100. Upgrading from net gear nighthawk 2021

Got the deal a couple weeks ago for the WR11000 and BRE3600 combo. Can't speak to this one, but the two of those work together absolutely flawlessly. I'm impressed with Cudy and never even heard of the brand until recently

Could I use this with Xfinity gateway and eero 3 pack mesh devices? House is old and signal is shoddy on first floor even with eero's.

I don't know, is the laundry room in the Attic or down in the second level basement? Or maybe out in the laundry suite... Err I mean mother in law suite?
