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.

Bought 5GNR AX3000 WiFi6 router (don’t know why it’s called P5 in some places…) and already disappointed as it doesn’t seem to manage a simple task.
I set up guest wifi but couldn’t connect to it from any of various devices. I tried using different SSID’s, several passwords of different lengths and complexities and encryptions.
Finally, I found the quest wifi’s are only accessible when I left them to the state of “no encryption”.
So, the instructions on this page do not match with reality.
What sense does it make to run a guest wlan with no password?
