I’m trying to get to the bottom of devices dropping out, I’ve added a couple of ZBmini’s which has helped ever so slightly but I’m still getting a couple of battery powered devices drop out. Can I flash a bridge with [THIS](https://digiblur.com/2022/02/20/how-to-convert-the-sonoff-zigbee-bridge-into-a-router-repeater/) and still connect it to my other devices in eWeLink or is it only for zha? Thanks ---

First glance: is that not a Zigbee Bridge and not a Zigbee Bridge Pro? ---

Try this: [Sonoff ZBBridge Pro Zigbee Gateway (ZBBridge-P) Configuration for Tasmota](https://templates.blakadder.com/sonoff_ZBBridge-P.html). There are two firmwares for the ZBP I can find. I assume one is coordinator and one is router, but I can’t see how to tell which is which. Do you have a spare pro? If you don’t this seems like a waste. ---

Router is a generic feature, but I can not guarantee it would work with all gateways. It depends on what device the router firmware emulates and the compatibility of gateways. ---

This might be it: had a single search on GitHub > **[SONOFF Zigbee Bridge Pro (ZBBridge Pro) Router firmware · arendst/Tasmota ·...](https://github.com/arendst/Tasmota/discussions/16957#discussioncomment-4013306)** > > It is a new discussion for the router firmware for ZBBridge Pro.

Or I think a newer version of the firmware > **[SONOFF Zigbee Bridge Pro (ZBBridge Pro) Router firmware · arendst/Tasmota ·...](https://github.com/arendst/Tasmota/discussions/16957#discussioncomment-6476479)** > > It is a new discussion for the router firmware for ZBBridge Pro. The discussion begin #14419 (comment). Unless I had a bridge pro in a drawer I think I’d just buy a switch or an LED strip though. ---

I gave up on the idea and have bought other power devices. ---

What about a Sonoff dongle P, is the router firmware compatible with eWeLink? ---

If you need a compact router device powered by USB. ZBMicro would be a better option. Dongle P, I think, has a similar chipset to Bridge P, CC2652P, if ZBBridge-P won’t work, dongle-p may not either ---

Ok, I’ve actually got a ZB micro arriving today because I was running out of options.
