Cudy TR1200 review: Affordable travel router with OpenWrt and VPN support
Looking for a travel router that offers secure internet access while on the go, I settled on the Cudy TR1200 after considering my requirements of OpenWrt support and VPN functionality. This router delivers on its promise of affordability while providing essential travel router features.
The Cudy TR1200 boasts an impressive range of functionalities, including Router/AP, WISP/Extender, and Client modes, as well as multi-device compatibility through Cudy Mesh, captive portal, native VPN support, DNS over TLS, USB 2.0-based Samba/SMB sharing, and the ability to repurpose the WAN port as a LAN port when needed. These features set it apart from basic travel routers and cater to more advanced user needs.
The hardware specifications are as follows: a 580 MHz single-core MIPS24KEC CPU, 16 MB (128 Mbit) NOR flash/ROM, 128 MB (1 Gbit) DDR3 RAM, dual-band 867 Mbps Wi-Fi (2.4 GHz and 5 GHz), two Ethernet ports (10/100 Mbps RJ45), and one USB-A 2.0 port. Powered by a USB-C port, the router operates on USB-C and PD inputs, consuming up to 8 W in total power consumption and approximately 3 W in standby mode. It requires a 5V/2A or USB-PD power source.
Accessing and configuring the Cudy TR1200 is straightforward, with both a cloud-based Cudy App and a local web interface available. Upon powering on the device, it defaults to the 192.168.10.0/24 subnet and uses the gateway address 192.168.10.1. The Quick Setup wizard guides users through the initial configuration, including timezone selection and WAN settings.
The WAN connection can be set up using PPPoE, Static, or Dynamic (DHCP) methods, with Dynamic (DHCP) being the recommended choice if the upstream router has DHCP enabled.
Wireless settings allow for separate SSID, passwords, and encryption types for both 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz bands, and the device reboots with the LED displaying a steady white light, indicating successful internet connection. Performance tests confirm that the Cudy TR1200 delivers adequate speeds for most users at its affordable price point, even though there are minor shortcomings such as limited bandwidth on WAN and LAN ports (100 Mbps) and WireGuard performance (43–49 Mbps throughput).
Nonetheless, the Cudy TR1200 remains a solid choice for those seeking a reliable travel router with strong security features.
