Can iHost be a Thread border router? If yes it could, is there any plan to make the iHost be a Thread border router?

Good question.
I asked @Daniel_Zhan and @ward many times, but no one answered

@jiayu.gou any plan to share?

It’s in research and should come with the Matter Hub feature if everything goes well. However, it won’t arrive that soon.

:disappointed:Thanks for your reply. Do you think the OpenThread OTBR Docker container (Uruchom Dockera OTBR  |  OpenThread) could be configured to work on the iHost? Or is there a limitation on accessing the thread radio?

It is possible with an extra dongle. I walked through that guide once before, and the startup argument is way too complex. :sweat_smile: I didn’t get it to work, but maybe some pro users can.
