You can do that. As I've done something simlar in the past (not recently).
Its just something to keep in mind that even though those devices are hardwired in, they're still running off the wireless between the router and the extender. And that extender is a basic AC750 device. If you're trying to push a bunch of bandwidth through it, an upgrade to something with a a wider/higher throughput device might be better. If you're not transferring that high of bandwidth, then you'd probably be alright*.

Yes, bandwidth should be minor. No movie streaming, etc. Just sending commands from my Crestron controller to the Roku and TiVo via Ethernet connection. The TV and AV Receiver have an IR input, which is sent from the Crestron controller to the device via an IRP2 - IR Emitter Probe w/Terminal Block Connector
