Matter Over Wi-Fi Solution

Question

Hey, Varshil here! 
 I wants to create Matter over Wi-Fi Solution so can You please provide the proper all information related to which hardware and software requirements I need to perform Matter Over Wi-Fi Solution using NRF boards. 
 Please, I want a brief answer about Matter Over Wi-Fi Solution. 
 Your help will be very much appreciated.

Varshil said: Now question regarding DK is totally clear for Matter Over Wi-Fi. 
 Happy to help 
 Varshil said: When I read about whole process or steps regarding Matter over Wi-Fi at that time they written many things about Hub. But I am bit confused right now about where and which scenario the Hub will be in picture. 
 In the first link I mentioned " Matter overview " there is a page called " Matter network topology and concepts ". Here you will find an image showing what a Matter network may look like. In this image you will see "Thread Border Routers" and "Matter Controllers". When we talk of a hub we typically talk about a device capable of being a Matter controller. Typically they are also capable of acting as a Thread Border Router. 
 A hub can be for instance Google Home hub, Amazon Echo hub or Apple Homepod hub which acts as both a Thread border router and a Matter controller. This blog Matter: Testing the nRF Connect platform with Apple, Google and Samsung ecosystems shows how these hubs are used in a Matter topology. 
 Varshil said: So can please explain briefly about in Matter over Wi-Fi Solution, Should I need Hub OR Should I buy specially for Matter Over Wi-Fi Solution. And If yes then can you explain me that why we need Hub and Where we use it? 
 If you wish to test your application in a third party ecosystem that supports Matter (such as Google, Apple, Amazon, Samsung), then you will need to have some sort of hub from their smart-home applications (they are mentioned in the blog linked above). 
 If you don't need to test your application in a third party ecosystem, then following the bullet point list in my first reply in this ticket should set you up for success by using implementing a boarder router through the Getting started guide and using CHIP Tool as the controller on either Linux, MacOS or Raspberry Pi 
 Please feel free to ask more questions if anything is unanswered related to this ticket 
 Kind regards, Andreas
