Whether you're using fibre, fixed wireless orplanning to upgrade your broadband package in future, this router is built tokeep up. Combined with advanced Wi-Fi 7 technology, the BE6500 delivers smoother4K streaming, faster downloads and lower latency when multiple devices areonline at the same time. Whether it's competitive gaming in one room, 4K Netflixin another, or video meetings running alongside smart home devices, it'sdesigned to handle the real-world demands of a busy, connected home withoutslowdowns.Performance You'll Notice Every DayWith speeds of up to 5765Mbps on the 5GHz band, the BE6500 is well-suited forhigh-demand activities such as competitive gaming, 4K and even 8K streaming, andlarge file transfers. The 2.4GHz band provides 688Mbps, offering stableconnectivity for everyday browsing, smart TVs, security cameras and other smarthome devices that rely on consistent signal strength. Support for Multi-LinkOperation (MLO) and 160MHz channels allows the router to manage traffic moreefficiently, helping to reduce congestion during peak evening hours wheneveryone is online. Instead of performance dropping under pressure, the networkremains stable and responsive. For users upgrading from Wi-Fi 5 or Wi-Fi 6, theimprovement in speed handling and device management is both practical andnoticeable.Strong Wired and Wireless in One DeviceWhile wireless performance is essential, wired stability remains important forcertain devices. The BE6500 includes four Gigabit LAN ports, allowing gamingPCs, consoles, smart TVs and network storage devices to stay connected viareliable wired links. This reduces wireless congestion and provides lowerlatency for devices that benefit from a direct connection. At the same time, thepowerful Wi-Fi 7 capability ensures mobile devices, laptops and smart homeequipment receive fast and stable wireless coverage throughout the home. Theresult is a balanced network setup where wired and wireless devices worktogether efficiently, rather than competing for bandwidth.Reliable Hardware with Practical SecurityAt the heart of the router is a 2.0GHz quad-core Broadcom processor supported by512MB of RAM, giving it the capacity to manage heavy traffic loads withoutfreezing, lagging or requiring frequent restarts. This ensures consistentperformance even when many devices are connected at once. On the security side,the BE6500 supports WPA3 encryption, includes a built-in SPI firewall and DoSprotection, and provides full VPN server and client functionality for secureremote access or private browsing. Guest Wi-Fi allows visitors to connectwithout accessing your main network, while parental controls offer addedoversight for family environments. It's a practical combination of performanceand protection designed for everyday use.FEATURES: * Wi-Fi 7 dual-band performance for faster, smoother connectivity * Multi-Link Operation (MLO) to reduce lag and congestion * 160MHz channels for higher wireless speeds * 4K-QAM for improved bandwidth efficiency * 5Gb WAN port to support high-speed broadband * Four Gigabit LAN ports for stable wired connections * Supports up to 200 connected devices * WPA3 security with built-in firewall protection * VPN server & client support for secure remote access * Guest Wi-Fi with parental controls * Cudy Mesh support for expanded home coverage * App and web management for easy setup and controlSPECIFICATIONS: * Wi-Fi Standard: Wi-Fi 6 (IEEE 802.11ax) * Wi-Fi Standard: Wi-Fi 7 (802.11be) * Wi-Fi Bands: Dual-Band (2.4GHz & 5GHz) * Maximum Combined Wi-Fi Speed: Up to 6.5Gbps * 5GHz Speed: Up to 5765Mbps (4×4 MIMO) * 4GHz Speed: Up to 688Mbps (2×2 MIMO) * Wi-Fi Streams: 6-Streams * Maximum Channel Width: 160MHz * Modulation Technology: 4K-QAM * Multi-Link Operation (MLO): Supported * OFDMA & MU-MIMO: Supported * Beamforming: Supported * Processor (CPU): 2.0GHz Quad-Core Broadcom ARM Cortex-A7 * Memory (RAM): 512MB DDR4 * Flash Storage: 128MB NAND * Maximum Connected Devices: Up to 200 Devices * WAN Port: 1 × 2.5Gbps RJ45 * LAN Ports: 4 × Gigabit RJ45 * Antenna Type: 6 × Fixed High-Gain External Antennas * Maximum Coverage Area: Up to 140m² * Mesh Compatibility: Cudy Mesh (Wired & Wireless Backhaul) * Operation Modes: Router, Access Point, Range Extender * Wi-Fi Security: WPA, WPA2, WPA3 * Firewall: SPI Firewall with DoS Protection * VPN Support: WireGuard, OpenVPN, IPsec, L2TP, PPTP, Zerotier * Guest Network: Supported (2.4GHz & 5GHz) * Parental Controls: Supported * Quality of Service (QoS): Per-User Rate Limiting * IP Support: IPv4 & IPv6 * App Management: Supported (Cudy App) * Web Management: HTTPS Web Interface * Power Input: 100240V AC * Power Output: 12V / 1.5A DC * Maximum Power Consumption: 17W * Operating Temperature: 0°C to 40°C * Product Dimensions: 25 × 15 × 5 cm * Product Weight: 0.58 kgWHAT'S IN THE BOX: * Cudy BE6500 Wi-Fi 7 Dual-Band Router with 2.5Gb WAN Black ×1 * RJ45 Ethernet Cable ×1 * Power Adapter ×1 * User Manual ×1Why Cudy?Cudy provides reliable networking solutions designed for the modern connectedhome and office.
