Get message “Thread Border Router Required“
I am trying to setup Eve smart power socket and I keep getting the error message. I have HomeKit setup with Apple TV 4K. Everything else works on wifi. I tried all the instructions nothing works.
There are now four models Apple TV 4K box, and not all offer Thread border router support.
- Apple TV 4K (1st generation), model number A1842 — 🔴 no Thread border router support
- Apple TV 4K (2nd generation), model number A2169 — 🟢 offers Thread border router support
- Apple TV 4K (3rd generation, Wi-Fi), model number A2737 — 🔴 no Thread border router support
- Apple TV 4K (3rd generation, Wi-Fi + Internet), model number A2843 — 🟢 offers Thread border router support
If you see a 'Thread Border Router Required' alert - Apple Support
- HomePod mini and HomePod (2nd generation) can also bring Thread border router support.
- Some third party devices may also be able to bridge as Thread border router.
