The Cudy LT500 is a Cat4¹⁾ LTE modem and AC1200²⁾ WiFi router/repeater. There is relatively little documentation so this page attempts to collect what there is.

The LT's software is a modified OpenWRT or LEDE stack:

Fri May 20 21:41:05 2022 kern.notice kernel: [ 0.000000] Linux version 4.4.140 (jenkins@cudy_release) (gcc version 5.4.0 (LEDE GCC 5.4.0 1.3.5) ) #0 Thu Mar 17 11:30:29 2022

The router is powered by a 12V/1A (DC) adapter, so should be easy to run off house power.

It is not immediately clear what the difference is between 450 and 500 besides color. When checked, firmware v.1.3.6 for both was byte-for-byte identical and refers to Mediatek MT7628 chip:

Under Advanced Settings | Firmware it shows HW version at the bottom of the dialog.

• firmware, how to upgrade
• manuals (QIG means quick install guide)

Smart Connect allows separate 2.4/6GHz configurations but presents a single SSID.

Behind the scenes, the router automatically determines whether to connect a device to the 2.4 or 5 GHz band, thereby providing the best speed and range for each device and optimally distributing devices to each network.⁹⁾

TR069 appears to refer to this device management spec.

Remote Web allows remote access to the router web interface over the internet (Requires a reachable Public IP).
