CD-WR1300

Overview

The Cudy WR1300 is a versatile AC1200 dual band WiFi router designed to provide fast and reliable wireless connectivity for homes, small offices and connected devices. With combined wireless speeds of up to 1200 Mbps, four 5dBi high gain antennas and five Gigabit Ethernet ports, it delivers strong coverage and dependable wired and wireless performance. The dual band design allows everyday browsing and smart home devices to use the 2.4GHz band while demanding activities such as 4K streaming and online gaming can take advantage of the faster 5GHz connection.

Description

The Cudy WR1300 AC1200 dual band router combines high wireless performance, Gigabit networking and flexible operating modes in one compact solution. Its dual core processor and generous 128MB DDR3 memory help maintain smooth operation when multiple devices are connected, while the four high gain antennas improve wireless coverage and signal penetration. The router can also operate as a WiFi router, mesh router, repeater, access point or WISP router, making it suitable for a range of network setups.

For users who need additional networking flexibility, the WR1300 supports built-in PPTP and L2TP VPN clients, DDNS services and OpenWrt installation. This makes it a practical choice for home users, remote access applications, small offices and users who want greater control over their network.

Features

Cudy WR1300 AC1200 Dual Band WiFi Performance
The WR1300 uses concurrent dual band WiFi to provide up to 867 Mbps on the 5GHz band and up to 300 Mbps on the 2.4GHz band. The two wireless bands can be used at the same time, allowing different types of traffic to be distributed according to their bandwidth requirements.

The 2.4GHz band offers longer range and is well suited to general browsing, smart home equipment and other everyday connections. The 5GHz band provides higher throughput for bandwidth-intensive activities such as online gaming, HD or 4K video streaming and large file transfers.

Five Gigabit Ethernet Ports
The Cudy WR1300 includes five Gigabit Ethernet ports, consisting of one Gigabit WAN port and four Gigabit LAN ports. These ports allow wired devices such as desktop PCs, gaming consoles, smart TVs, network storage and other Ethernet equipment to connect at high speed.

Key network connections include:

• 1 x 10/100/1000 Mbps Gigabit WAN port
• 4 x 10/100/1000 Mbps Gigabit LAN ports
• Up to 1000 Mbps wired Ethernet connectivity

Five Networking Modes in One Router
The WR1300 is designed to adapt to different network environments and can be configured in five operating modes. This flexibility allows the same device to be used for a standard home network, wireless expansion or more specialised installations.

Available modes include:

• WiFi Router
• WiFi Extender
• Access Point
• WISP Router
• Mesh Mode

High Gain Antennas and Dual Core Processing
Four fixed 5dBi omnidirectional antennas help extend wireless coverage and improve signal sensitivity. The antenna design is intended to provide stronger connections over greater distances and better wireless penetration through walls, making the router suitable for larger homes and areas where wireless coverage can be challenging.

A high performance dual core CPU works alongside 128MB of DDR3 memory to support multiple connected devices and demanding network activities. The hardware is designed to maintain smooth network operation during activities such as 4K UHD streaming, online gaming and general multi-device use.

Built-In VPN Client Support
The Cudy WR1300 includes PPTP and L2TP VPN client support, allowing the router to establish a connection with a compatible VPN server. Once configured, devices connected to the network can use the VPN connection without requiring individual VPN configuration on every device.

This can be useful for connecting a home network to a work or school network, as well as for users who require centralised VPN connectivity for multiple devices.

DDNS for Remote Network Access
Dynamic DNS support allows a changing public IP address to be associated with a custom domain name. This can make remote access and network management easier when an internet service provider regularly changes the assigned IP address.

The WR1300 supports more than 15 DDNS services, providing flexibility when configuring remote access to compatible home or business network equipment.

OpenWrt Ready Hardware
The router is equipped with 16MB of flash storage and 128MB of DDR3 memory, providing additional resources for the operating system and potential software expansion. The hardware is designed to support OpenWrt, giving advanced users the option to expand the router's functionality and customise its networking capabilities.

OpenWrt support makes the WR1300 particularly appealing to users who want more control over routing functions, network configuration and additional software options.
