I have a good WiFi signal around the house (Vodafone WiFi 6E, Pro II ) but smart tv's Wifi is not working. I was looking for a device that can pick up the wifi signal from the router and connect the TV via ethernet cable, is this possible?

 

Thinking this will be an WiFi extender with a ethenet port(s) that can be used to share its WiFi signal?......more ports the better as may get another one for a TV, PS5 and Streamer

 

Seen this: AXE5400 Mesh Wi-Fi 6E Range Extender, but looks like the ethernet is input (i.e. from the router, not output into TV)

When RE is in RE mode its ethernet port is used as output - i.e. you can use a plain network switch to split the traffic among several wired clients.

When RE is in AP mode its ethernet port is used as input to feed the traffic into the RE and use its wireless signal to extend wireless coverage further.
