Apple TV (as Thread Border Router)
In my parents’ setup, the Apple TV is the whole reason Thread is even on the table—it’s their Thread border router. If you want the speed and reliability benefits of Thread devices (like locks), having an Apple TV in the home makes the experience way more consistent.

- +Enables Thread devices to be fast and reliable in daily use
Cons
