What is Access Point Mode?
Access Point mode is the router uses a wired connection to the primary router or modem router to expand the wireless coverage for a home network.
Common network topology:
Step 1: Open a web browser and go to http://cudy.net or http://192.168.10.1.
For details, please refer to How to log into the web interface of Cudy Router?
Step 2: The Quick Setup window will pop up, choose 'Wireless Access Point', then click 'Next'.
Step 3: Choose your 'Time Zone'.
Step 4: Confirm the hardware connection.
Step 5: Change the wireless network name and password.
Step 6: Click "Save & Apply" to complete the configuration.
Step 7: Wait a few seconds for the system rebooting, when the login page pops up again, you can enjoy the internet.
Note:
After setting up the Cudy router into Access Point mode, the IP address will be assigned by the host router and the default IP Address 192.168.10.1 will not able to log in. If you need to log into Cudy router again, type 'http://cudy.net' into your browser or look up the Cudy router's IP address in your main (primary) router's client list.

Dear Customer,
Yes, you can set the mesh router as access point.
“May I use multiple mesh router as access point wirelessly ?”

Dear Olli Tapani Ovaskainen,
Yes. You can use two routers (WR1300) in same network and same SSID in AP mode. I suggest you to configure channels manually to avoid interference.

“I have a Cudy Router/Extender that was installed by someone for me. My WiFi would only work where the Router was upstairs, had no connection downstairs where my WiFi comes in (I have Starlink). My son was able to by that and I have basically two different WiFi connections depending on location in the house. What he was not able to do was create a password when using Cudy as the WiFi. I have not been able to figure out a way to do that. Information I have found does not work. Can you help? Thanks”
