For compliance, all network interfaces and services exposed in the factory-default state are documented below and made available to the end user. This page covers the services enabled out of the box to support initial setup, mobile app onboarding, and mesh networking, along with the complete list of listening ports for both the WAN and LAN interfaces.
The following services are enabled by default to support initial setup, mobile app onboarding, and mesh networking:
- Web Management (HTTP/HTTPS) — Local browser-based configuration and secure administrative access.
- Mobile App Setup (Smart Connect) — Required for initial device discovery and setup via the mobile application.
- Mesh Node Discovery (mDNS/MQTT) — Enables automatic detection and pairing of additional mesh nodes.
- Mesh Provisioning & Sync — Dedicated internal channels for linking nodes and synchronizing system settings.
- Installation Diagnostics (Thrulay) — Built-in performance testing to verify network speeds during initial setup.
- Device Discovery (UPnP) — Seamless integration with third-party network controllers and media devices.
- Guest Node Onboarding — Specialized support for integrating and configuring nodes within a guest network segment.
- Core Network Services (DHCP/DNS) — Essential services for automatic IP assignment and internet connectivity.
