I have an aqara m3 hub that's acting as my border router but I have a device on the other side of the house that cannot connect to it.
I was successfully using an NRF52840 on a Raspberry Pi that was also running a kiosk screen in my kitchen. This worked well as the pi would extend the thread network too.
I've sinced replaced the pi with an N100 and so I'm trying to essentially do the same thing - set up a dongle on the N100 to act as a thread router.
These things seem to not place well with windows.
zBDongle-E - I've somehow had this working before on windows. It's flashed to multi-pan. I'm trying to set up an Openthread docker image on the n100 windows machine but it's constantly failing with these errors:
ip6tables v1.6.1: can't initialize ip6tables table `filter': Table does not exist (do you need to insmod?)
Perhaps ip6tables or your kernel needs to be upgraded.
- die 'Failed to start firewall service'
- echo ' *** ERROR: Failed to start firewall service'
*** ERROR: Failed to start firewall service
I've even tested with firewall disabled on the host. The command line arguments I've used to build the docker include using the host network and/or setting net_admin. I've also tried disabling ipv6 on the host. No luck.
**NRF52840 - **: This is what works on the Pi without much issue. I've tried nRF Connect for Desktop but it tells me "nRF528xx OpenThread "Not supported yet"
Ah.!
