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.

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”

@Andrii,
Dear Customer,
Thank you for contacting Cudy support team.
The factory firmware of WR1500 doesn’t support guest network function. But there is a good news is that we will release the Cudy platform firmware like other Cudy wireless router soon. I think it will be less than 2 weeks. Then, if your update the new firmware, the router will support it. For now we have only beta version. If you want to try the beta version, we can send it to you.

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).
Device in question: Cudy P5 AX3000"
