Broadband/ethernet

[Neil616]

Recently setup BT Smart hub2 and cannot get a couple of apps so I bought Roku Express which won`t connect through WIFI , can I use ethernet cable for the Roku while using WIFI for broadband/tv .

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

could use HDMI to ethernet converter , if router would take both broadband cable for WIFI and ethernet for Roku

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.
