Is it possible to connect the Aquara M3 Thread board router to my already established Smarthings Thread network. As I’ve already been able to connect Google into the thread network.

I am using a M100 Thread enabled Aqara Hub.
In my experience, the Aqara hub will function on the same Thread network as SmartThings through Matter.
It acts as a Matter bridge/controller but is not recognized as a native SmartThings hub.
It can be used to expose Aqara devices to SmartThings via Matter.

Just wanted to add that not all Aqara devices might be supported in this setup. There are some points about Zigbee and Matter device interoperability:
Hello @arthur1321
Currently many third party hubs use their own thread network, in the future large companies should release updates for their thread border routers so that they can be combined into one network, some of them can do this now.
