5 Reasons to use a Cudy WiFi 5 or WiFi 6 Router

An introduction to Cudy, a new brand Scoop Distribution is partnering with. We take a look at two of their flagship routers and the incredible functionality built into their consumer WiFi routers.
The CD-WR1300 WiFi 5 router and X6 WiFi 6 router are both equipped with Gigabit Ethernet and other hardware features which are competitive in their class. However, in this video, we take a look beyond the hardware and highlight the 5 reasons to use a Cudy router.

Is this a good gigabit router to work on Verizon Fios?

[@QuintonViljoen]

Please consider doing some reviews on the Mesh in action, like signal and speed tests. There's not much out there on this brand... yet

Is it possible to control cudy wr3000 from anywhere of the world ??

[@scoop_distribution]

Cudy currently doesn't have and app or remote management software. You could use VPN or port forward for remote web configuration.

[@masingitasingy]

So I have the WR1300 I have tried getting into the settings using the default admin password but it does not work even after resetting the device, anyone know what I can do?

[@scoop_distribution]

Never heard of an issue like this before. Reset should default the password to 'admin'. Perhaps check it isn't a caching issue on the browser.

[@milkkolaj]

Are Cudy routers reliable in the long run and if so how long would one last? Also isn't the cudy firmware already Open WRT but with slight modifications out of the box?

[@scoop_distribution]

We have sold the brand for around 2 years and its extremely reliable. Cudy does have their own version available on their site but this is not the stock firmware. You can find instructions to flash to the standard OpenWRT firmware here - openwrt.org/toh/cudy/start

@@scoop_distribution just ordered one :D (wr1300) THANKS

[@ashoka7528]

it can cover 1800 sqft house?

[@scoop_distribution]

Coverage is heavily dependent on physical barriers and other factors. If one router does not provide enough more can be easily meshed to expand the signal range

[@JeffZiegler76]

Do they support DD-WRT?

[@scoop_distribution]

Currently only Open-WRT is support on select models

[@bhootyoutube]

Bad side app not supported
Make it app support wr1200
And apps login by Facebook, Google account and managed router over any Internet.

[@scoop_distribution]

Thank you for you comments. Cudy do have plans to launch an app but there is currently no ETA. We will be sure to post something once its been released.

[@maselanga3977]

The worst WiFi, always getting disconnected
There’s always a problem

[@scoop_distribution]

It sounds like there is either an issue with your device or your setup as this is not typical on the Cudy brand. We would recommend returning it to where it was purchased for testing.
