I've recently bought a Yale YRD510 smart lock which supports Google Matter. I have a Nest Mini which I understand should work as the "bridge" to setup and connect with the YRD510 lock, yet I've been trying for over a week and the Google Home setup page kept telling me "your device requires a Thread border router" after recognizing the smart lock QR code and attempted to connect. Looks like I'm not alone and I've also tried to have the Nest Mini firmware updated by all means. Everything stays within the same 2.4GHz network. What else more can I do?

You need one of these devices:
