Cudy M11000, BE11000 tri-band Wi-Fi 7 node sold singly review
The most completely specified unit in this group: three band rates, a named backhaul, four multi-gigabit sockets — and a badge 223 Mbit/s larger than the figures printed beneath it.
Tri-band Wi-Fi 7 badged BE11000, with 5765 Mbit/s on 6 GHz, 4324 Mbit/s on 5 GHz and 688 Mbit/s on 2.4 GHz, MLO and 4K-QAM, four 2.5G RJ45 sockets of which one is WAN, wireless and wired backhaul with a dedicated 6 GHz link, fast roaming, a VPN server and client covering WireGuard, OpenVPN, IPsec, ZeroTier, PPTP and L2TP, a 1.5 GHz quad-core processor with 512 MB of DDR4, a cylindrical body of 116 × 202 mm (4.57 × 7.95 in) with six fixed internal antennas, and a mains adapter and Ethernet cable supplied.
The arithmetic
5765 plus 4324 plus 688 is 10,777. The badge says 11000. That gap is the whole reason this site writes badges as stated figures rather than as speeds: the number on the carton is an arithmetic convention, rounded upward to a memorable shape, and it belongs to nothing you can plug in.
What is unusual here is that the listing hands you the three parts. Almost nothing else on this shelf does, and it is the parts, not the sum, that tell you which radio your laptop will actually land on.
The backhaul
Named in full: wireless and wired, with 6 GHz reserved for the wireless link between units. That is the sentence a mesh buyer should look for first; the Deco XE75 and the Orbi 770 are the only other systems here that reserve a band for the link.
The area that does not move
110 m² (1,184 sq ft) for one unit. 110 m² (1,184 sq ft) for two. 110 m² (1,184 sq ft) for three. Two readings are possible and the listing settles neither, so the figure is reported as printed and treated as unreliable for the multi-unit packs.
Before ordering
Check the line coming into the building. Four sockets at 2.5 Gbit/s are the reason to choose this over a gigabit system, and on a gigabit line they are capacity that nothing will use.
Where it holds up, and where it stops
Strengths
Publishes a rate for every one of its three radios, which only the Deco BE63 here also does
Names the backhaul precisely — wireless and wired, with a 6 GHz radio reserved for the wireless link
Four sockets at 2.5 Gbit/s, one of them WAN, on a unit sold as a single node rather than as a pack
Compromises
The badge reads 11000 and the three published rates come to 10,777, so the carton is 223 Mbit/s ahead of the page
The coverage figure is 110 m² (1,184 sq ft) for one unit and 110 m² (1,184 sq ft) again for three, which cannot be right for both
No 802.11 designation, on a Wi-Fi 7 unit where the generation letters are the shortest way to check a client will speak to it
Specifications
Wi-Fi generation
Wi-Fi 7 — stated in the title and in the first bullet, alongside MLO and 4K-QAM
IEEE designation
Not published on the listing — the generation is named by number only, and no 802.11 letter pair is printed anywhere in the five bullets
Stated class figure
BE11000 — stated in the title. The bullet publishes all three parts: 5765 Mbit/s on 6 GHz, 4324 Mbit/s on 5 GHz and 688 Mbit/s on 2.4 GHz, which come to 10,777 Mbit/s, so the badge is rounded up by 223
Band plan
Tri-band with all three named and rated — 6 GHz at 5765 Mbit/s, 5 GHz at 4324 Mbit/s and 2.4 GHz at 688 Mbit/s, with MLO and 4K-QAM
Backhaul type
Both, and named — wireless and wired backhaul are stated, with a dedicated 6 GHz radio kept for the wireless one
Node count
One — stated in the title as M11000 1-Pack
Pack composition
A single cylindrical unit, 116 × 202 mm (4.57 × 7.95 in), with a mains adapter and an Ethernet cable in the box; a 2-pack and a 3-pack are named
Stated coverage area
110 m² (1,184 sq ft) — stated, and the same 110 m² (1,184 sq ft) is stated again for the 2-pack and for the 3-pack, so the published figure does not grow with the number of units
Ethernet port count
Four — stated as four 2.5G RJ45 sockets, one of them WAN
Port speed
2.5 Gbit/s on all four — stated, and described as supporting internet connections up to 2.5 Gbit/s
Separate WAN socket
Yes — stated: of the four 2.5G sockets, one is marked WAN

The questions that come up before an order
What is a dedicated backhaul radio?
A radio the system keeps for traffic traveling between its own units, so that the airtime your laptop uses is not the same airtime the node uses to reach the one upstream. Naming which band carries it, as this listing does, is more informative than the badge on the front.
Should the coverage figure be read as 110 m² (1,184 sq ft) per unit?
The listing does not say so. It gives 110 m² (1,184 sq ft) for the single pack and repeats the same figure for the two-pack and the three-pack, which is either an error or a claim that adding units does not add area. We report what is printed rather than choosing between those readings.
Our score
7.8/ 10
The best-documented radio in this group by a distance, and the one whose two published area figures contradict each other. For a fast line and a house that can take a cable between units, the wired backhaul and the four 2.5G sockets are the reason to look.

Wi-Fi 7 — stated in the title and in the first bullet, alongside MLO and 4K-QAM
Not published on the listing — the generation is named by number only, and no 802.11 letter pair is printed anywhere in the five bullets
BE11000 — stated in the title. The bullet publishes all three parts: 5765 Mbit/s on 6 GHz, 4324 Mbit/s on 5 GHz and 688 Mbit/s on 2.4 GHz, which come to 10,777 Mbit/s, so the badge is rounded up by 223
Tri-band with all three named and rated — 6 GHz at 5765 Mbit/s, 5 GHz at 4324 Mbit/s and 2.4 GHz at 688 Mbit/s, with MLO and 4K-QAM
Wi-Fi 6 — stated in the title and in the first and second bullets
Not published on the listing — neither 802.11ax nor any other clause number appears, although HE160 in the first bullet is an 802.11ax term
AX3000, broken into its terms — the first bullet gives 2×2 with HE160 at 2402 Mbps plus 2×2 at 574 Mbps, which sums to 2976 and rounds to the label. HE160 is the 160 MHz channel width that the larger figure depends on
Two bands, both published — 2402 Mbps on the 5 GHz band at a 160 MHz channel width and 574 Mbps on 2.4 GHz, stated in the first bullet with two streams on each
Wi-Fi 6E — stated in the title and in the first, second and fifth bullets, with the fifth explaining that the 6 GHz band is available only to Wi-Fi 6E equipment
Not published on the listing — no clause number appears, although HE160 in the third bullet is an 802.11ax term
AXE5400, broken into its three terms — the third bullet gives 2402 Mbps on 6 GHz at HE160, 2402 Mbps on 5 GHz at HE160 and 574 Mbps on 2.4 GHz, which sums to 5,378 and rounds to the label. The arithmetic holds and the channel width is named on both fast bands
Three bands, all published with figures — 6 GHz and 5 GHz both at 2402 Mbps with a 160 MHz channel width, and 2.4 GHz at 574 Mbps, stated in the third bullet
Not published on the listing — neither Wi-Fi 5 nor any generation name appears in the title, the eight bullets or the description. AC1900 is the only designation, and the AC prefix is a clue rather than a statement
Not published on the listing — neither 802.11ac nor any other clause number appears anywhere on the page
AC1900, with a three-by-three six-stream arrangement — stated in the fourth bullet, printed there as "3× 3 6 Stream". The figure is the theoretical sum of the radios and the page does not break it into bands
Not published on the listing — no per-band figure appears, so the AC1900 label is given without the 5 GHz and 2.4 GHz halves that make it. Most of the newer systems on this shelf publish theirs
What separates the models, in network and storage gear
If price decides: TP-Link Deco S4 three-pack, AC1900 with no generation named, at $96.
The buyer this one serves, among network and storage gear
A household on a multi-gigabit line that wants every socket faster than a gigabit and a 6 GHz lane kept clear between nodes.
