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 WR3000
Dear Customer，
Thank you for contacting Cudy support team.
The reason is about the software design. For now, we don’t have plan to add guest network for WR3000 when it’s working as access point. It is not a easy job.
“Why there is no option for guest network for WR3000 when it’s working as access point? If it will be implemented in the future?”

Dear Alex,
Thank you for contacting Cudy support team. Sorry to tell you that Cudy router doesbn’t support this function. We will provide your feedback to the product department for evaluation.
“Hi. Will it be possible for us to allow clients from guest wifi to use vpn as well? Currently the option is greyed when accessing the router from desktop.”

Thank you for contacting Cudy support team. I need some more information to fix this issue.
1. How do connect all the M1300? Do you connect all the M1300 to a switch, if yes, what is the brand and model of switch, is it a managed switch or a unmanaged switch? Can the switch passthrough the VLAN traffic?
2. What is the model of the main M1300? Wireless router mode or Access Point mode?
3. What is firmware version of the M1300?
I will try to find a solution according to the information.
“I have a 8 Cudy M1300’s all wired uplinks, and when I enable the guest network on the main M1300, it configures it, and the SSID broadcast from all nodes, but cannot connect to the guest network, I have triid everything with no luck”
