Your Upgrade for the Gigabit Era
Your internet connection delivers more than 1 Gbps, but your WiFi can't keep up? The Cudy M3000 is the solution. Each of the three units is equipped with an ultra-fast 2.5-Gigabit port. This means you can finally use the full power of your fiber optic connection. This port can serve as either a WAN port for your modem or a LAN port for high-performance devices like a NAS or a gaming PC. With this AX3000 WiFi Mesh for Fiber Optics, the network bottleneck is a thing of the past, and you are well-equipped for the future of the internet.
A Network That Thinks and Grows With You
The Cudy M3000 Wi-Fi 6 Mesh System 3-pack creates a single, intelligent WiFi network for your entire home. Thanks to technologies like OFDMA and MU-MIMO, data is distributed to over 200 devices simultaneously and highly efficiently. Your smartphone seamlessly switches from one node to the next without interruption as you move through the house. Whether you're streaming 8K videos in the living room, on a video call in the office, or listening to music in the garden – the connection remains consistently strong and reliable.
Maximum Performance and Ironclad Security
For demanding users who want to make no compromises, the Cudy M3000 offers the option of a wired backhaul. Simply connect the units with a network cable – ideally via the 2.5G ports – to create an extremely stable and fast data highway between the nodes. This Mesh Router with Ethernet Backhaul ensures that the full WiFi bandwidth is available for your mobile devices. At the same time, modern WPA3 encryption protects your network from unauthorized access, and the integrated VPN client allows you to securely route your entire home network through a VPN Service of your choice.
Easy Setup, Flexible Use
Installing the Cudy M3000 is incredibly easy. Each of the three units is identical and can be configured as the main router. The other two automatically connect as satellites and extend the network. The intuitive web interface or app guides you through the process. Although each unit only offers one additional 1-Gbit LAN port, this is not an obstacle: To connect multiple wired devices such as printers or consoles to a node, you can simply connect an inexpensive Ethernet Switch and thus flexibly expand your wired network.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Can I use any of the three Cudy M3000 as a main router?
Does the Cudy M3000 system support an Ethernet Backhaul?
Yes, the system supports a wired Ethernet Backhaul. For maximum performance, you can connect the units to each other via their 2.5G or 1G ports, which results in a more stable and faster mesh Network than a purely wireless connection.
What is the main advantage of the 2.5G port on the Cudy M3000?
The 2.5G port allows you to fully utilize internet speeds of over 1 Gigabit per second. If you have a fiber optic or cable connection that delivers more than 1 Gbit/s, this port prevents your Router from becoming a bottleneck.
How many devices can be connected to the Cudy M3000 3-pack?
The system is designed to connect over 200 devices. Thanks to Wi-Fi 6 technologies like OFDMA, bandwidth is efficiently distributed among many clients, ensuring stable performance even in very dense Networks.
Does the Cudy M3000 have external Antennas that I can align?
Is the system compatible with older WLAN devices?
Yes, the Cudy M3000 is fully backward compatible with older WiFi standards such as Wi-Fi 5 (802.11ac) and Wi-Fi 4 (802.11n). Older devices can connect easily but will not utilize the speed and efficiency advantages of Wi-Fi 6.
