Price and rating as shown on Amazon when we collected them. Both change.
The Cudy BE11000 — sold as the WR11000 — is the cheapest tri-band Wi-Fi 7 router in this guide at £124.85, and it came in sixth. The headline on the box is 'BE11000', the listed data transfer rate is 11,000 Mbps, and the listing also claims coverage of 1,500 m2. That coverage figure is the one worth reading twice: the other routers in this guide claim between 2,000 and 2,500 sq ft.
The rest of the fiche is quieter than that claim. Four 2.5G ports are listed at 2,500 Mbps each, and the maximum upstream data transfer rate is 10,000 Mbps — which is 4 x 2,500, so no individual port is faster than 2.5 Gbps. The three bands add up to 10,777 Mbps rather than the 11,000 on the badge. It holds 4.0 out of 5 from 234 ratings, and the histogram is split: 62 five-star scores against 15 one-star ones. Everything below is taken from the Amazon listing, not from any testing of our own.

Questions people ask
Does the Cudy WR11000 really cover 1,500 m2?
That is the figure in Cudy's own listing, which says the six-antenna FEM array 'covers 1500 m2'. The other routers in this guide claim 2,000 to 2,500 sq ft, and the listing gives no detail on room layout or construction behind its number.
What does the BE11000 name actually mean?
The listing breaks it down as 5765 Mbps on 6 GHz, 4324 Mbps on 5 GHz and 688 Mbps on 2.4 GHz. Add those three together and you get 10,777 Mbps, so the 'BE11000' figure is the sum of every band, not the speed one device receives.
How fast are the wired ports on the Cudy WR11000?
Four ports, each stated at 2,500 Mbps and described as delivering 2.5 Gbps independently. The listing's maximum upstream data transfer rate is 10,000 Mbps, which is exactly 4 x 2,500, so no single port runs above 2.5 Gbps.
How many devices will it handle at once?
The listing claims 200 simultaneous device connections, with the Qualcomm 1.5 GHz quad-core CPU and 512 MB DDR4 RAM described as driving all four 2.5G ports at line rate while running VPN encryption and QoS.
Which VPN protocols does it support?
WireGuard, OpenVPN, IPsec, ZeroTier, PPTP and L2TP, as both server and client, plus DNS over TLS with Cloudflare, Google and Quad9. The listing calls it an all-protocol VPN hub, and Cudy Mesh can extend coverage across floors.
Is it Wi-Fi 7 with multi-link operation?
Yes. The listing describes tri-band MLO aggregating bands for a single device, and lists 802.11.be alongside 802.11a, 802.11ac, 802.11ax and 802.11n compatibility.
