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.

“Guest network for AP-mode is really must have for me. Your competitors already have this option. I am already looking for options to replace my current system with a new one that supports multiple ssids.”

Dear Customer,
Thank you for contacting Cudy support team.
For now, Cudy product doesn’t support guest network when working on Access Point mode. We have plan to develop this feature in near future, please wait patiently.

“Setup AX3000 mesh, 1 x router mode, 5 x mesh.
All connected via ethernet.
LAN and WLAN works as expected, for main network, all mesh units working via wifi and wired lan connected devices.
Issue: Guest Network only connects when device placed next to main router, does not connect when connecting to mesh units.
Tried with and without encryption, does not seem to be getting connections via mesh units, ssid signal, but not device authentication or connection allowed.”
