Does anybody know if that Router does support that?
I doubt any ISP router does: directly supporting Thread is rather outside their remit. As far as I'm aware you need an additional item of Tado kit to perform the function of bridging to the Internet (called, rather unimaginatively, the 'Internet Bridge' ; )

Edit: it appears their more recent Bridge X is itself WiFi capable and so doesn't require an ethernet cable to the router: the thermostats themselves still need a Bridge (which the Tado website doesn't make entirely obvious)

@NilocW As Per @TimmyBGood Tado Thermostats need the Internet Bridge for them, they can't connect to Tado servers without one.
