- Color: Black
- Security
- Data Encryption: true
- Encryption Type: WPA-PSK, WPA2-PSK, WPA3-Personal (The security protocols or certification programs that protect the Wi-Fi network.)
- Firewall Type: NAT, SPI (The method the firewall uses to filter and process data to increase network security, primarily by blocking malicious traffic requests while allowing legitimate traffic through.)
- Security Features: Firewall, MAC Filter, IP Filter, Domain Filter
- Parental Controls: true (Allows user to block unwanted content, signals, channels, networks, etc. from being received or accessed.)
- Network
- Quality Of Service (QoS) Traffic Prioritization: true (Allows a user to manage a device's network performance by configuring the types of traffic that receive top priority for transmission. High priority functions and applications receive maximum network performance, while low priority traffic receives minimum performance.)
- Band Technology: Dual (Refers to the number of frequency bands used to wirelessly transmit an internet signal. For example, dual-band devices may use one 2.4 and one 5 GHz band, while tri-band devices may use one 2.4 and two 5 GHz bands. Multiple bands also provide more flexibility for designating connected devices to specific band use.)
- Ethernet Standard: 10/100/1000 (Each standard is a variation of the IEEE 802.3 set of computer networking technologies known as Ethernet. New versions evolved to include higher bandwidth, different physical media, and other new and improved features. Standards are often denoted by speeds (in Megabits per second). For example, a 10/100/1000 Ethernet port transmits at 10 Mbps, 100 Mbps, and 1000 Mbps (1 Gbps).)
- Number Of Connected Devices: 200
- Number of Antennas: 4
- Frequency Band: 2.4 GHz, 5.0 GHz (Bands may be grouped into categories such as low- and high-band VHF (Very High Frequency), low- and high-band UHF (Ultra High Frequency), or certain frequency channels (measured in MHz or GHz). Generally, higher frequencies transmit information faster but have shorter range than lower frequencies.)
- Wireless Networking Standard: Wi-Fi 6 (The wireless networking standard used by the device. Each iteration of the standard developed by the Wi-Fi Alliance corresponds to an existing IEEE 802.11 protocol; for example, standard 802.11ac (or AC) is termed Wi-Fi 5. Refers specifically to the standard the device is designed to use, but ultimately determines product interoperability and backward compatibility including previous versions.)
- Wireless Standard: AX (The wireless networking protocol used by the device. Each iteration of the protocol is based on the 802.11 standard developed by the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) Standards Association. Denoted by letters following 802.11 (802.11a, 802.11ac, etc.), each version, published in alphabetical order, encompasses all previous versions.)
- Wi-Fi Range: 220 square feet (The device will provide a Wi-Fi connection to this approximate area.)
- Input/Output Technology: MU-MIMO (Multi-user Multiple-Input Multiple Output) (Generally, multiple-input multiple-output communication technologies allow for more signals to be transmitted at a single time, which can improve the device's overall performance.)
- Number of 2.4Ghz Streams: 2 (A router's streams are like lanes on a highway. The more streams a router has, the less traffic congestion. Because the 2.4 GHz band is used to transmit wireless signals to a wide variety of devices, there is often high amounts of traffic on that stream. But with multiple streams, each can be designated to a specific device for optimal performance. For example, if one 2.4 GHz stream is assigned to one device, such as a desktop computer, it leaves the remaining streams open for guest users, devices that use more data, or devices with specific band compatibility.)
- Number of 5.0Ghz Streams: 2 (A router's streams are like lanes on a highway. The more streams a router has, the less traffic congestion. The 5.0 GHz band provides high speed, short-range data transmission and typically has less traffic than the 2.4 GHz band. With multiple streams, each can be designated to a specific device for optimal performance. For example, if one 5.0 GHz stream is assigned to one device, such as a streaming media player, it leaves the remaining streams open for guest users, devices that need less data, or devices with specific band compatibility.)
- Wi-Fi Mesh System: true (A single wireless network consisting of a main router (connected directly to a modem) that connects to a series of satellite modules or nodes placed around the home.

A: undefined
A: OpenVPN is a VPN service with no traffic or bandwidth limit. Amazing what you can find with Google. Or ANY search engine.
Q: Can you use this with Verizon FIOS service?
A: If you have a modem with a LAN output, it will work, and either up to the maximum speed from FIOS or the maximum speed of the Cuty, whichever is lowest.
Q: Will this work with starlink
A: If you have a modem with a LAN output, it will work, and either up to the maximum speed from Starlink or the maximum speed of the Cuty, whichever is lowest.
A: The PS5 has no modem, just an Ethernet port. If you have a modem, which you need first, that has a LAN output, it will enable you to connect the PS5 to your ISP. at up to the maximum speed from the ISP or the maximum speed of the Cuty, whichever is lowest.
Q: Do you sell one time fee WiFi box. I do not have the Internet,
A: I THINK you are talking about what is often referred to, generically, as a MiFi, or a portable Hotspot, which is basically a cell phone that is dedicated to receiving and distributing WiFi service. If you search that term on BB you will find a number of devices that will fit this term and usability, at different price points, depending on features. There are a few one-time fee devices that will include 12Gb PER YEAR of data, starting at $110, and if that is all you need, you probably DON'T need this, or any other router. If, however, you want a reasonable amount of data, you will have to subscribe to a service (AT&T, Verizon, Charter Spectrum, T-Mobile, Boost, etc.), the same as you would with a cellphone. Also, you will need a device with an Ethernet port, which none of the one-time payment devices include.

Fast and Speedy, great range
This CUDY router is great. Easy to set up...even for a non tech person like me. Came with everything I needed, detailed instructions that made set up simple and quick. It's fast! The range is far, I can get wi-fi from outside my house now. The unit looks cool and is light. Buying from Best Buy also easy and fast. The cost was fair. I'm happy!

Easy installation and great quality
Easy to install with clear instructions. My 14-year-old installed it in minutes. Great quality - it replaced my old router and achieved the true speed I purchased from the ISP.

Great as a solo, Fantastic as a mesh
Purchased several of these to create a mesh network in my house to solve bad coverage problems that were too hard for the my ISPs Wifi to handle. The four external antennae on each box meant that I got better signal coverage after setting up the first router than I previously had. After setting up the mesh, each additional router I added meant a stronger signal in areas where I had previously been limited to a weak signal between floors and obstructing walls. Not only does it carry the same SSID throughout my house, I can even detect a signal now outside on my back deck.
