Hello!
I’m recently purchased the Sonoff 3.0 Zigbee dongle and would like to use my old Conbee II as a router instead of as a coordinator for my Zigbee network.
Is this possible?
Can someone please guide me!
Thanks.
You would need a „router“ firmware on your Conbee for that to work but I don’t think the vendor offers any different firmware than the coordinator firmware.
If you want/need a good Zigbee router get a CC2652-based device as the Conbee technology is outdated anyway…

I do not know about ConBee/RaspBee but a few other Zigbee adapters (like Silicon Labs) can be re-configured as a Zigbee Router device via serial terminal without having to flash a different firmware image.
Having different firmware images preconfigured with different roles is usually a little more user-friendly.
