"A good robovac is a life changer. Even a $350 basic S8. It is a great place to start. ... I promise you that you will not be disappointed by a basic S8. It will change your life even if it can't fit under every piece of furniture you own. ... My two S8s just finished vacuuming our entire house in about 46 minutes. ... While my floors were being cleaned, I sat comfortably on our patio in the cool shade with a slight breeze and composed my far too long response to you while sipping a diet soda and relaxing. ... I will have to spend about four minutes maintaining my two S8s. This will be my entire contribution to my home floor cleaning effort for today. Four minutes!"
"I got the Q5 Pro for $139. ... costs $450 less than what I paid for the S6 ... it is the best value option out there imo."
"Like 500$ these robots are currently the steal of the century ... You can get a mova p10 pro ultra (cannot remove its mops), equivalent to the l40/x40 for 500$ after a discount code"

"it just has this one short little loop and can't be carried as a bag hands-free. Also, it doesn't store much, so we always needed a regular diaper bag anyway if we were leaving the house for any longer than a few hours. It made me so mad and I regretted purchasing it."
"it’s dated and have issues with dwarf 16MB storage. Super cheapskate and shortsighted move by MikroTik on this and several other models. ... The issue is that after installing wifi qcom-ac package. Using netinstall method because there is not enough storage to do it traditional way. There remains literally only 1% of free storage left , around 300KB. Uncomfortable, very on the edge. When/if this drops to 0KB, the router will brick itself and require netinstall, that’s guaranteed. ... Yeah 16MB should be enough for everyone. 2018’s facepalm edition."

"Although, it does rise to 75°C at times (It has a working temp of 70°C to 140°C; also saw it reach 80°C once). Putting a good heatsink in it down the line would be a good idea for hardcore users. ... Cudy WR3000 does run hot tho (about 80°C under load)."

"Cudy did cut budget on the design & build quality to keep the cost down. But I think the mainboard is fine. ... Cudy is Ok, has higher specs, has nice blue lights , but whole feeling is a cheaper build."
second this; just got one. Spent a few weeks saving my BPI mini from a bricking but the Cudy updated with ease to native OpenWRT. do it.
r/openwrt • Recommendation wanted: OpenWrt router under $150 ->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? ->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 ->Bhaia, i have bought the WR3000s, it is phenomenal at this price, thank you for your advice
r/openwrt • Cudy WR3000 good enough? ->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. ->Flashed my WR3000 with Openwrt without that.
r/openwrt • Which OLD (and cheap!) OpenWrt router has the best WiFi5/6 performance? ->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? ->[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!
r/InternetPH • Routers with built-in SQM for bufferbloat ->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.
