My tplink wifi adapter not recognised my lappy. what can I do?

Matter is adding support for WiFi Access Points in the upcoming 1.3 update to the specification.
 

I'd love to see a supported Router of yours that has a thread border router & Bluetooth combo module added in. Could call it a 'Smart Wi-Fi Router' or something 

Hey @Adpocalyptic,

Thanks for the information, I haven't had a chance to review the upcoming update. I am curious to see what kind of controls or features are offered for APs through Matter.

 

It may come as a surprise, but I believe that we have actually had routers with Zigbee and BT functionality—but this was a long time ago, before Matter or even Smart Homes were even a thought in people's heads.

 

Along with this, our teams are always looking at adding this type of functionality to our devices - particularly Decos. The Deco App has a Smart Home feature that just recently received support for operating as a Matter Controller, so we may hear more about how Matter may be implemented across Deco and other products soon. Out of curiosity, do you have any use for the Bluetooth Modules (such as having devices that communicate over BT), or is it meant more for provisioning of devices?

Hey @shawnz @Corduroy34 @Shaunp77 

Thanks for the feedback, I've been working with our product teams to relay the feedback that we are continuing to see requests for three-way options. If you have not already, please provide your feedback in our latest Survey "What Matter Device Do You Want to See Next?"

 

As a heads-up, one of the main limiting factors that we have seen in relation to new devices supporting Matter is the limited support for devices/features across third-party implementations, along with the limits on what features are supported via the Matter Protocol. I am not sure if a 3-way switch is affected by this, but it may explain why we are not seeing one on the market yet.

@Riley_S Yeah, its been pretty hard to get ahold of more information on it since every search result seems to be about the Thread 1.3 update (With an interesting idea about 'Thread-Over-Infrastructure') I assume it'd be for stats/network health & to restart when they get issues. I'm drawing a blank on what automations it could schedule though.

 

I did see mentions of a device like that when looking into the options available from TP-Link and I probably would've gotten it if it wasn't so old 😅 
 
As for the Bluetooth support I suppose it would be both? More so the commissioning requirements of Matter/Thread devices to have it. Perhaps it won't be just commissioning other devices, but also commissioning the access point itself. And who knows, could become handy with other use cases as all of these standards evolve. 

A product roadmap with upcoming Matter support would be a nice to have for those of us who have already commited to the Kasa ecosystem. I am ALL-IN and just waiting for more Matter products to be released.
