EX8000 X6s as an extender - Wired Connection
Hello I bought two X6S EX8000's extenders to connect to my X10 Nighthawk via hard wire. Will I still be able to create a One Home wifi network where everything still connects to the same wifi network but backhauls through the ethernet or does the One Home require it to connect via the wifi/wps? And if it can still do one home, do I just make them access points?
If it becomes a one home/access point, will alexa still be able to connect to different devices connected to it?
If someone could provide some helpful information on creating a hard wire ethernet one home connection, if possible, it would be appreciated.

If you connect the extender via ethernet you will just be making them access points you would need to extend via wireless to get the one network.
