Support for Cudy WR3000

Bought two WR3000 for 37 EUR each delivered, a lot of bang for your buck if you ask me. Flashed Cudy-Openwrt firmware first, followed by master snapshot.

Quick iperf3 test using Intel AX200 client connected on 160MHz channel, iperf3 server running on WR3000.

Power consumption, measured at wall using Voltcraft 4000

3.9W : idle, one gigabit ethernet port up, both radios on 
4.2W : idle, two gigabit ethernet ports up, both radios on
8.6W : pushing 1.3GBit/s iperf3 TX on 5GHz radio, CPU close to 100%, one gigabit ethernet port up, both radios on

So far looks like a perfect AX access point, cheap and powerfull enough to provide actual 1Gbit/sec over 5GHz without breaking a sweat.
