Bridge-P as a coordinator

Is it possible to use Sonoff ZB Bridge-P as a coordinator/router in iHost?

Zigbee coordinators and Zigbee routers are two different things. Here is the detailed explanation.
Any iHost acts as a Zigbee coordinator, so there’s no need for an additional one. Using the ZBBridge P as a router is like hiring a Michelin-starred chef to butter your toast—technically possible, but wildly excessive. Almost any mains-powered Zigbee device can handle the job, so unless you enjoy over-the-top networking luxury, you might want to save the ZBBridge P for more dignified duties.

I am currently using two Bridge-P in ewelink app and I have an old version of ZB Bridge (without P). And I would like to use this old version as a router in i-host?
Is it possible?

It is possible but it requires custom firmware. It is anything but a simple procedure. If you have no experience and understanding, it’s better to let this concept go and use something else.
By the way, it is not ‘in iHost’. Any router works with a Zigbee network it is connected to.
