Hey everyone, I’m looking to improve my local network performance since I use it for game streaming from my desktop PC to my TV. Unfortunately, wiring my setup isn’t an option, so I’m trying to optimize things over WiFi (I live in a detached house, so no congestion on 5GHz band) Right now, I’m using a Cudy WR3000 AX3000, and honestly, it’s been great—especially for the price. Because of that, I’m considering upgrading to the **Cudy Tri-Band WiFi 7 BE11000** (£160), but I haven’t found much info on it. The reviews on Amazon aren’t reassuring, so I’m wondering if anyone here has experience with it and can share some feedback. If not, I’d love recommendations for a solid router that performs well for WiFi-based local game streaming. Thanks in advance!
r/HomeNetworking • Cudy Tri-Band WiFi 7 BE11000 Thoughts? ->This looks good and great price point. Not sure I'll be able to fit what I need into RAM and flash but I've ordered one and will give it a go. I can probably drop nginx and just have the Go app handle http
r/openwrt • Router recommendation that meets these criteria ->If my maths is right, that's about 3x more power? Thanks, this will be my backup option if 5GHz coverage is poor or I cant fit everything I need into RAM
r/openwrt • Router recommendation that meets these criteria ->Flashed my WR3000 with Openwrt without that.
r/openwrt • Which OLD (and cheap!) OpenWrt router has the best WiFi5/6 performance? ->There's ethernet to every floor? You don't need mesh then, just enough WiFi access points to get coverage Honestly you might find even just two AX3000 devices are good enough, that's all I have covering a 3 story, 4 bedroom house. You might not get gigabit speeds over the WiFi in every corner of the house, but you can go by ethernet for the devices like PC's that matter, and still have a plenty fast WiFi connection (in the region of 300-600mbits) everywhere else A couple of Cudy WR3000, WR3000S or WR3000H would be within budget and if you were feeling adventurous they can be flashed to OpenWrt

r/HomeNetworking • Home mesh network advice ->I've been having good luck with Cudy devices. I've got a WR3000H and WR3000S The big downside is lack of USB (WR3000P had this) But for inexpensive WiFi 6 devices which are easy to get OpenWRT on I can't think of anything in their price range that comes close
r/selfhosted • Best hackable wifi access point - modern day. ->[https://www.waveform.com/tools/bufferbloat?test-id=4720d1a5-dce4-4ea9-b536-e3f583b12c5b](https://www.waveform.com/tools/bufferbloat?test-id=4720d1a5-dce4-4ea9-b536-e3f583b12c5b) ISP is Converge. 5GHz wifi on R7800 router using built-in SQM. Bumaba lang yung download speed due to other users. Sadly phased-out na yung router ko. My recommendation for built-in SQM is eero Pro. Expensive but very user-friendly. Cheaper option would be flashing OpenWRT to Cudy WR3000 or WR3000S, this one I recommend since the manufacturer already provided the files needed, and guides are available which makes it a lot easier. Good luck!

You can buy the Cudy WR3000S which is really cheap (I bought mine for 40€) and good (I get 1Gbps over WiFi with it), configure it in AP-mode and plug your computer via Ethernet in there and then use WiFi for everything else. For the best performance, I would turn off 2.4Ghz, and put the 5Ghz band in 160Mhz mode.
r/HomeNetworking • Seeking Suggestions - Cheap WiFi Router for Home Use? ->The Cudy WR3000S is a great and cheap router, I get 1Gbps over WiFi.
r/openwrt • Recommendation wifi router ->Bhaia, i have bought the WR3000s, it is phenomenal at this price, thank you for your advice
r/openwrt • Cudy WR3000 good enough? ->It's a great router tbh. Lots of flash storage, flashing OpenWrt is very easy and everything works without a hitch. I can highly recommend Cudy to anyone.
r/openwrt • Which OLD (and cheap!) OpenWrt router has the best WiFi5/6 performance? ->Cudy wr3000 series runs pretty good with OpenWrt
r/openwrt • View on Reddit →Cudy WR3000S . I'm rocking WR3000 with only 4 ports total and VDSL modem FB7362SL
r/openwrt • View on Reddit →I'm a big fan of the cudy WR 3000 It works flawless for me since 2.5 years. There is an official openWRT image from them, but I would recommend the 'vanilla openWRT ' which is also very easy to install. Runs my home network with vlans and a wire guard server Also, it's only 40bucks
r/openwrt • View on Reddit →I got the Cudy WR3000E for €30, doesn’t get much cheaper than that

r/InternetPH • View on Reddit →something that uses the mediatek chips is your best bet. if you are going to use wireguard and require decent speed on that probably the flint 2 (avoid the flint 3). alternatively if you dont use a vpn, you have the cudy wr3000 which is cheaper and works great too, can offload most of the heavy lifting to the soc, once you enable WED. these topics are covered in the openwrt wiki page.

r/openwrt • View on Reddit →I can recommend the Cudy WR3000 Its fairly cheap, openWRT is installable with a simple patch and it works for me with no issues since almost 2 years now! WiFi 6 is very fast and stable. I also run a WireGuard server and it manages to encrypt 400Mbit

r/HomeNetworking • View on Reddit →If you're planning to buy one, go for the WR3000s. It has 128MB ROM compared to 16MB on the non-S variant.
r/openwrt • View on Reddit →Get the WR3000s. It also has slightly better antennas other than the increase in ROM size. I recently upgraded to it from the WR3000. Check in Tech Somahar to see if they have it in stock. Most other shops are out of stock for that model.
r/openwrt • View on Reddit →Hey, I was wondering if you went ahead with the heat sinks? I recently bought a WR3000S, was thinking of doing the same. If you did, could you let me know what you ended up using as the heat sink?
r/openwrt • View on Reddit →That is not required. The only interaction is to apply the OpenWrt image provided by Cudy via GUI. Afterwards it is all CLI procedure if you want.
