This article will guide you to open an extra Wi-Fi for your guests. It will only provide an internet connection and separately from the main network. For example, when you connect to the guest network, the device cannot access the local network, unable to log into the web interface, etc.
Note: Guest Network doesn't available in Access Point Mode.
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: Go to Advanced Settings->Guest Network.
Step 3: Create a 2.4GHz or 5GHz guest network according to your needs.
The default guest network is an open Wi-Fi named 'Cudy-Guest-2.4G' or 'Cudy-Guest-5G'.
Step 4: Set Encryption to WPA-PSK/WPA2-PSK Mixed Mode, then set an easy-to-remember password.
Step 5: 'Save & Apply' the settings. Now you can access your guest network using the SSID and password you set.
Don't enable Hidden Network unless you want to manually input this SSID for Wi-Fi access.

Dear Customer,
Thank you for contacting Cudy support team.
Sorry to tell you that the guest network is forbidden to access the devices in the main subnet. So you can’t access these devices from the internet. But We will provide your feedback to the product department for evaluation to make a change.
“Is there a way to access servers in the “main ip-space” from the guest network?
Example:
- Device gets a public IP-address 11.22.33.44 from ISP
- Trying to access servers (through port forwarding) using the IP above from guest network seems to fail
- Trying to access servers IP (on the “main IP space”) also fails. But this is of course expected so no problems here.
My case: I have kind of home automation systems running on a device connected to Cudy. These allow remote control using port forwarding. This remote control works if accessing them outside the guest network. In my case these services can be reached using cellular connection on a phone but not from guest network. It’s kind of funny that these can be reached from about anywhere in the internet except the guest network.
In ASUS-routers I have used this works (local devices can be accessed from guest network using public IP from ISP).

@Yaniv N，
Dear Customer,
Thank you for contacting Cudy support team.
For now, Cudy router doesn’t support the feature you mentioned. We will provide your feedback to the product department for evaluation.
“Why can’t I set up a guest network with the same IP address as the regular network? Or would there be an option to at least choose a different IP?
Or would there be an option to isolate it from the network and the computers wouldn’t see it on the network
And why isn’t there an option to set up an IoT network? Or would there be such a network built in, competitors have it, the disadvantage is that it doesn’t exist, it’s very convenient."

@apito,
Dear Customer,
Thank you for contacting Cudy support team.
We have plan to add this function in near future. Our R&D team are working on this. Please wait patiently.
