Roku Express doesn’t have any Ethernet connection. They are WiFi only as far as I can see.

I have no idea about Roku devices but a router such as the BT hub can have as many Ethernet and WiFi connections as you like simultaneously ( well up to 252 IP addresses in reality)

You would need a USB to Ethernet converter, not HDMI. Roku support pages offer some suggestions for suitable models.
