### About Thread border routers
-The devices use Thread border routers to communicate outside the mesh with any IPv6-capable device. A Thread border router is connected to your network either via Wi-Fi or Ethernet and uses its RF radio to communicate with the Thread mesh network. The TBR routes packets between your local network and the Thread mesh. It does not look at the content of these packets, it just forwards them.
+A Thread border router is a network device that connects a Thread mesh network (consisting of low-power IoT devices) to other IP networks such as Ethernet or Wi-Fi.

+The IoT devices use Thread border routers to communicate outside the mesh with any IPv6-capable device. A Thread border router is connected to your network either via Wi-Fi or Ethernet and uses its RF radio chip to communicate with the Thread mesh network. The TBR routes packets between your local network and the Thread mesh. The border router does not look at the content of these packets, it just forwards them.

+The Thread border router does not control devices. Device control is handled by application layer protocols like Matter or Apple HomeKit.
