Cudy AP1300 Indoor | AC1200 Dual-Band Wi-Fi 5 | Gigabit PoE Port | Ceiling or Wall Mount
Steady wireless coverage for offices, classrooms, hotel corridors and homes that outgrow a single router.
Condition: New

The Cudy AP1300 Indoor is in stock at Mascom International, priced at KSh 6,500, a brand new and sealed dual-band AC1200 access point with a Gigabit Ethernet port. The Cudy AP1300 Indoor delivers up to 867 Mbps on 5GHz and up to 300 Mbps on 2.4GHz, supports WPA3 encryption, and broadcasts up to eight network names with VLAN separation. Power reaches it through an 802.3af or 802.3at PoE source, passive 24-57V PoE, or a 12V DC supply. Pick one up from our shop on the First Floor of Old Mutual Building, Kimathi Street, Nairobi CBD.
Built for small offices, schools, churches and guest houses across Kenya, the Cudy AP1300 Indoor solves a familiar problem: one router at reception and weak signal everywhere else. Stone walls and concrete slabs stop a single router long before it reaches the far classroom, the accounts office or the upstairs rooms of a Nanyuki guest house. Mounting a Cudy AP1300 Indoor on the ceiling of each zone, each wired back with one Ethernet cable, spreads strong signal room by room. Cudy Mesh and band steering then hand phones and laptops to the closest unit and the better band, with no password typed twice.
Unlike a plug-in repeater, which loses speed relaying signal through the air, the Cudy AP1300 Indoor takes its feed from a cable, so each unit gets a full Gigabit wired link. Where most Nairobi electronics shops sell access points off the shelf with no advice, Mascom International talks through cable runs, PoE power and controller options before you pay. Customers across Nairobi tell us the biggest gain comes from placing the Cudy AP1300 Indoor in corridors rather than inside offices. Visit the store to handle the unit, or order on WhatsApp for pay-on-arrival delivery to your county.
Common Questions About the Cudy AP1300 Indoor
How much is the Cudy AP1300 Indoor in Kenya?
The Cudy AP1300 Indoor costs KSh 6,500 as a sealed retail unit at Mascom International on Kimathi Street, Nairobi CBD. That price covers the access point, its ceiling and wall mounting kit, the installation guide and a 12-month warranty, with pay-on-arrival delivery across Kenya. The box carries no power adapter or PoE injector, so buyers without a PoE switch usually add the Cudy POE200 at KSh 3,000. The weatherproof Cudy AP1300 Outdoor sits KSh 2,500 higher, at KSh 9,000.
Will the Cudy AP1300 Indoor keep working during KPLC power cuts?
The Cudy AP1300 Indoor stays online through KPLC outages when its PoE source runs from a UPS. Because power travels down the same Ethernet cable as data, one UPS in the network cabinet can carry the router, the PoE switch or injector and every ceiling unit together. Each access point draws at most 11W over PoE, so a modest UPS lasts far longer than it would with desktops attached. We often suggest this layout to schools and churches, where evening outages would otherwise cut Wi-Fi in the middle of a class or service.
Should I buy the Cudy AP1300 Indoor or the Cudy RE1200 mesh repeater?
Pick the Cudy AP1300 Indoor when you can run an Ethernet cable to where signal is needed, and the Cudy RE1200 when you cannot. Both are AC1200 class, but the RE1200 sits between router and dead zone and relays signal wirelessly, sharing airtime between the router link and your devices. The access point gets a dedicated wired link, mounts on the ceiling, carries eight network names with VLANs and suits busier rooms. At KSh 4,000, the RE1200 saves KSh 2,500 and fits a Kilimani flat with one weak bedroom.
How many devices can one Cudy AP1300 Indoor handle at a time?
One Cudy AP1300 Indoor accepts up to 128 connected clients, and Cudy recommends keeping a single unit under about 50 for comfortable speeds. That makes one unit right for a staff room, a lounge or a church office, while a school hall full of student phones needs two or three units sharing the load. MU-MIMO on 5GHz lets the access point talk to several devices at once instead of one after another, which matters when a full room opens WhatsApp and M-Pesa together after a meeting.
Can I run separate guest and staff Wi-Fi on the Cudy AP1300 Indoor?
Yes, the Cudy AP1300 Indoor broadcasts up to eight network names, four on each band, and can tag each one to its own VLAN. A guest house in Diani can give visitors one network, keep the front desk and Lipa na M-Pesa till on another, and put CCTV or streaming TVs on a third, so a guest's phone never sees the office computers. VLAN tagging needs a router or switch that understands VLANs, so confirm your setup with us on WhatsApp first. WPA3 encryption protects every network's password.
Can I manage several Cudy AP1300 Indoor units from one place?
Yes, a group of Cudy AP1300 Indoor units can be managed together through a Cudy AP Controller, the Cudy app, or remote HTTPS and TR-069 tools. A single unit sets up from a web page or the app; a bigger site benefits from the controller, which pushes one network name, password and channel plan to every unit. That suits an Industrial Area warehouse or an apartment block where nobody wants to climb to each ceiling. The unit also switches into router, range extender, WISP or client mode when a job calls for it.
Is the Cudy AP1300 Indoor fast enough for home or office fibre in Kenya?
The Cudy AP1300 Indoor handles typical Kenyan fibre plans comfortably, with up to 867 Mbps on 5GHz and a Gigabit Ethernet uplink. On Safaricom Home Fibre, Zuku or Faiba, the line speed you pay for is usually the limit, not the access point. The 2.4GHz band, at up to 300 Mbps, reaches further through walls for older phones, printers and payment terminals. Newer Wi-Fi 6 phones still connect, at Wi-Fi 5 speeds, which remain ample for video calls, Microsoft Teams and 4K streaming on most packages.
Who should buy the Cudy AP1300 Indoor, and who should skip it?
The Cudy AP1300 Indoor suits offices, schools, churches, clinics and guest houses that can run Ethernet cable to the ceiling and want one network across many rooms. It also fits large homes in Runda or Karen with concrete floors between levels. Skip it if you live in a one- or two-bedroom flat with no cabling; the Cudy WR1300 router at KSh 5,500 or the Cudy RE1200 repeater at KSh 4,000 will be simpler. Skip it too for verandas, gates or poles exposed to weather, where the Cudy AP1300 Outdoor belongs.
Technical Specifications
Core Function and Wireless Performance
- Dual-band AC1200 Wi-Fi 5 — up to 867 Mbps on 5GHz plus 300 Mbps on 2.4GHz, enough for video calls in every room it covers.
- 2x2 MU-MIMO on 5GHz — the unit serves several phones and laptops at the same moment instead of queuing them one by one.
- 20, 40 and 80MHz channel widths with automatic selection — wider channels mean faster transfers, narrower ones cope better in crowded buildings.
- Band steering — dual-band phones get nudged onto the faster 5GHz band, leaving 2.4GHz free for older devices and printers.
- Up to 128 connected clients, with about 50 recommended per unit — plan one unit for each busy room or open-plan floor.
- Open-space range of up to 170 metres — walls, slabs and metal ceilings shorten this, so mount units in corridors and open areas.
Compatibility and Network Management
- Cudy Mesh with wired or wireless backhaul — units link to each other and to other Cudy Mesh devices, forming one network.
- Eight network names, up to four per band, with VLAN tagging — guests, staff and cameras stay on separate, isolated networks.
- WPA, WPA2 and WPA3 security — WPA3 is the newest Wi-Fi password standard and is harder to crack than older WPA2.
- Web page, Cudy app and Cudy AP Controller management — set up one unit from a phone, or run many from a central controller.
- Remote HTTPS and TR-069 support — TR-069 is a standard that lets an internet provider or IT contractor manage units from afar.
- Access point, router, range extender, WISP and client modes — one unit can change role as your network grows over time.
Build and Mounting
- Round disc housing, 171.4mm across and 41mm deep — slim enough to sit flat on a ceiling board without drawing attention.
- Weighs about 234.5 grams — light enough for gypsum and plasterboard ceilings when fixed with the supplied mounting kit.
- Four internal antennas, two per band, with front-end amplifiers — no aerials to snap off, and a cleaner look in reception areas.
- Ceiling or wall mounting — ceiling placement spreads signal downward evenly, the usual choice for classrooms, corridors and hotel landings.
- Reset button and system status light — one glance from the floor shows whether the unit is powered and connected.
- Made for indoor spaces only — for verandas, car parks and poles, the weather-sealed outdoor version is the right choice.
Inclusions and Power Options
- One Gigabit Ethernet port — carries data and power on a single cable, so no electrical socket is needed near the ceiling.
- Accepts 802.3af and 802.3at PoE — works with standard PoE switches and injectors such as the Cudy POE200.
- Also accepts passive PoE from 24 to 57V — compatible with the passive PoE adapters many WISPs and installers already carry.
- 12V 1A DC input — an alternative where PoE is not available, using a separately bought DC adapter of that rating.
- Power draw of 11W at most on PoE and about 4W at idle — low enough to run for hours on a modest UPS.
- Box holds the access point, mounting kit and installation guide — no power adapter, injector or Ethernet cable comes with it.
Package Contents
Inside the sealed Cudy AP1300 Indoor box you get the access point, a mounting kit for ceiling or wall installation, and Cudy's installation guide. The box does not include a power adapter, PoE injector or Ethernet cable, because most installations power the unit from a PoE switch already sitting in the network cabinet. If yours has none, the Cudy POE200 injector at KSh 3,000 powers one unit over its Ethernet cable, and the Cudy GS1005PTS1 PoE switch at KSh 6,500 powers several. Mascom International can bundle either with your order.
Warranty
The Cudy AP1300 Indoor ships with a 12-month warranty through Mascom International, covering manufacturing defects under normal use. Claims are handled in person at our service desk in Nairobi CBD; bring the access point along with your purchase receipt.
