Routers are now officially named "Thread Mesh Extenders" on all consumer facing comms. Adding this information here. Q: should we update *all* documentation to reflect the name change or can we still use "router" in engineering docs and primers?
|
Sorry, I missed this. @jwhui is this a change we should make in the OpenThread docs? |
Yes, we should put something to this effect. "Mesh Extenders" is the name Thread Group recommends for consumer-facing documentation. But "Routers" is still used by the Thread Specification. |
|
Yeah I would just change it a few places for now, these docs are not really for consumers. I haven't looked at the Primer material in a while, I'll have to see other places where it makes sense to change and also mention Mesh Extenders. |
