Management options
Section titled “Management options”Most deployments use both management surfaces, but they are built for different moments:
| Surface | Best for | Boundary |
|---|---|---|
| Cloud portal | Monitoring, jobs, reports, users, guided Router Settings, rollouts, and approved cloud firmware updates from cloud.telisky.com. | Requires the router to be online; arbitrary firmware URL updates and some low-level diagnostics are support/API workflows, not general cloud forms. |
| Local Web UI | On-site setup, recovery, WAN/cellular/DNS checks, local firmware file or URL updates, and direct changes at http://192.168.4.1. | Manages only the router in front of you; it does not manage cloud users, reports, or fleet rollouts. |
See Cloud Portal vs Local Web UI to decide where to make each change, Router Settings for cloud-managed settings, and the Local Web UI tour for on-device pages.
