Cudy - TR3000 1.0 (AX3000 2.5G Wi-Fi 6 Mini VPN Router)

I've bought one some time ago, sadly did not have time to change current router. But I've bought it after testing TR3000 witch is superb for price, loved ease of GUI.

It most Def works perfectly for multiple different points of access with it. If you were having problems, you might need to do the update on it, just false it over to it. I've been using it for 2 years now and I play a lot of online ps5 games. I have Straight Talk Home Internet,  and I do a pass through on the 5G modem and completely open all access to my mostly locked settings that most Cell phone Internet providers keep locked for the way they wanna try to limit you. But I literally wire my 5g int, to the Cudy TR3000, n then wire it to my PS5, and it lowered my latency by 15ms, but it kept my download speed relatively the same, around 280 mbps, which is more than sufficient anyways. But there is 4 different ways you can utilize this TR3000, n ima tell ya, I'll never go different, nit until everything starts being produced to us consumers like the access to the outrageous, ridiculous high speed data that's gonna be around soon. I mean cat7 cable is good for up to 46 GBPS, so yeah that should tell ya everything. But THE CUDY TR3000 IS HANDS DOWN, MY NUMBER 1 SUGGESTION TO PPL. It is a lil bit of a pain in the ass at first setting it up the way you actually need it to be, cause like I said, there's 4 different ways to use this. I was able to take 5g home internet,  that has most settings locked in, and literally made it just a block that receives the signal n just passes it right by, make sure to enable pass-through settings on the 5g modem if you wanna add a router to the network, n then ETHERNET wire from the  Cudy TR3000 router to the PS5. N I will almost be willing to bet anything, you will be satisfied. The CUDY has, 1. Access Point, WISP, and 2 other modes that you can use to make it work. If you do this for gaming. Do it the way I just explained. N you literally have access to opening up your isp to do whatever that uou see fit for you. 

Some hotels still with ethernet in room, this is the easiest and just plug and use your WiFi. For WiFi only, just use your router to connect the hotel WiFi and use it as INTERNET instead of ethernet WAN connection. For the login page thing, it's CAPTIVE PORTAL, once your router connected to the WiFi, just use ANY ONE of your connected client device to surf internet and it should bring you to login, then all good for remaining devices. A good OpenWrt travel routers nowadays are GL-INET MT1300 (Beryl), MT3000 (BerylAX), Cudy TR3000

There are quite a lot of options, I have redmi ax6000(mt7986), Xiaomi wr30u, Cudy tr3000. Not new devices, but it’s cheap and also powerful devices.

No love for the A1300 (Slate Plus) 😢 I get why no love for Slate AX & 7 for vanilla OpenWRT, but the IPQ40xx is well supported and I’d take it over the MT1300 anyday. Only change I’d make to your list as I’ve got an A1300 & TR3000 myself.

Cudy TR3000 is nearly identical to Beryl AX on hardware level, but for about 1/3 the price. Agreed the GL.iNet has a bigger community and history, but the TR3000 also has OpenWRT support, which is easy to flash, and IMO physically looks & feels nicer. Beryl AX with OpenWRT is effectively identical to TR3000 with OpenWRT. Admittedly more expensive than TR1200, but definitely worth the extra

yes here to recommend this beautiful monster too.

Linksys E8450 (just barely good enough, I would certify it only up to 450 Mbps for PPPoE + SQM) Cudy TR-3000 (compact but powerful) GL.iNET GL-MT6000 (overkill)

Recommended travel router: Cudy TR3000. Yes, you can piggy-back the hotel WiFi. Delete the original WAN, then, on Network > Wireless, join the hotel WiFi, it will be present as a \`wwan\` interface. It will then be reshared via the WiFi that the router provides. The captive portal will need to be dealt with from the first device that connects through your router.

Yeah if one is comfortable with OpenWRT, Cudy TR3000 is such a sweet little device. And it is also one of the lightest Wifi 6 travel routers that I know of, which is an important factor for travel routers.
