Looking to improve my thread network with more wired devices that can act as routers and get a better mesh.
Was wondering if any of the Ikea matter-over-thread devices can do this.. i.e the TRÅDFRI bulbs.. or any of the smart plugs ( I have inspelning but these are ZigBee)
Any other suggestions welcome to help improve my network on the cheap ( won't be cheap cause will need to buy 3 or 4 of whatever).

The IKEA KAJPLATS bulbs, ALPSTUGA air quality sensor, and GRILLPLATS smart plug all work as thread routers. Depending where you live, the new thread bulbs and smart plug might not be available yet.
Other than that, any brand of Matter over Thread bulb or smart plug will probably work. The Philips Hue Essential brand is their competitor to IKEA stuff and supports thread; I've heard of people having success with the ONVIS Matter over Thread smart plugs too.
