Your WiFi, now outdoors – without compromise
Imagine streaming your favorite series in the garden, making a video call on the terrace, or working relaxed by the pool – all with the same stable and fast connection as indoors. The Cudy AP1300 Outdoor WiFi Access Point makes exactly that possible. Designed for the toughest conditions, it brings reliable Dual-Band Wi-Fi 5 (AC1200) outdoors. No rain, no dust, no extreme temperatures can harm this outdoor professional.
Maximum flexibility and security for your outdoor Network
The AP1300 Outdoor is a true multi-talent. Whether you want to use it as a WiFi Repeater for range extension, as a standalone WiFi Router, or as a WISP Router – it adapts to your needs. Particularly clever: The integrated VPN functionality (WireGuard, OpenVPN, IPSec, L2TP, PPTP) protects your data outdoors. This allows you to establish secure connections to your home or company Network or even host a VPN server directly on the Access Point. For businesses or cafés, support for a Captive Portal (guest portal) is a real highlight for offering controlled and branded guest access.
Easy installation, strong performance
Forget complicated wiring. Thanks to PoE (Power over Ethernet), you simply power the Cudy AP1300 Outdoor and transmit data via a single Ethernet cable. A suitable PoE Injector / Power Supply is even included! The detachable Antennas allow you to further optimize range and coverage if needed. With MU-MIMO and Beamforming, multiple devices are efficiently served simultaneously, and the signal is precisely directed to your end devices. Enjoy a WiFi range of up to 170 meters in open areas.
Seamless integration into your Cudy Mesh Network
Do you already have a Cudy Mesh Network? Perfect! The AP1300 Outdoor integrates seamlessly and extends your coverage with true Mesh WiFi. Thanks to 802.11k/v standards, you automatically and uninterruptedly switch between Access Points – ideal for seamless video streams or VoIP calls while moving freely around your property. This creates a truly gapless and powerful Network throughout the entire outdoor area.
