The router's Wi-Fi name(SSID), Wi-Fi password and security options are pre-configured. The default SSID and password can be found on the device label. You can modify the wireless settings according to your needs.
Step 1: Open a web browser and go to http://cudy.net or http://192.168.10.1. Use "admin" as a password to log in.
For details, please refer to How to log into the web interface of Cudy Router?
Step 2: Go to General Settings->Wireless page.
Smart Connect:
When Smart Connect is enabled, the router’s 2.4GHz and 5GHz networks share the same SSID (network name) and password.
Wireless 2.4G or 5G:
The 2.4GHz or 5GHz wireless network should be enabled. Simply uncheck the box if you don't want to use the wireless feature. All wireless settings won't work if the wireless function is disabled.
Wireless SSID and password:
Enter the new Wi-Fi name and Wi-Fi password you want to change.
Note: If you use a wireless device to change the wireless settings, you will be disconnected.
Encryption:
No Encryption, WPA-PSK, WPA2-PSK, WPA-PSK/WPA2-PSK (Recommend), WPA2-PSK/WPA3-SAE, WPA3-SAE.
Note: We don’t recommend you to change the default settings unless necessary.
Mode:
2.4GHz: 802.11b, 802.11b+g, 802.11b+g+n, 802.11b+g+n+ax
5GHz: 802.11a, 802.11a+n, 802.11a+n+ac, 802.11a+n+ac+ax
Note: If you find some clients have problems connecting to 5GHz of Wi-Fi 6 router, please update the client's wireless network card driver to the latest version. If still have problems, please adjust the wireless mode of the router to 5GHz (802.11a+n+ac).
Channel:
'Auto' by default. Select the channel you want to use from the drop-down list. This field determines which operating frequency will be used. It is not necessary to change the wireless channel unless you notice interference problems.
Channel Width:
'Auto' by default. Select the channel width from the drop-down list if necessary.
2.4GHz: 20MHz or 40MHz
5GHz: 20MHz, 40MHz or 80MHz
Transmit Power:
Maximum, Middle or Minimum
By default, it is 'Maximum', if you change to others, the Wi-Fi signal will decrease.
Note: We don’t recommend you to change the default settings unless necessary.
Hidden Network:
If you enable Hidden SSID, your SSID won't broadcast. When you search for local wireless networks, your SSID won't show up on your wireless device's Wi-Fi list, so you'll have to manually join the network.

For now Cudy mesh system doesn’t support the set the working channel of the satellite units in the mesh system. We will add this feature in near future. Please wait patiently.
