We have two V6s and a hub 3. The hub 3 is in bedroom one and the two V6s are in bedroom two and the living room. We only have a small house but all three devices are in different rooms. After a few hiccups on wifi we managed to get both V6s connected to wifi at 5Ghz and both work absolutely fine. We were told at least one V6 needs to be connected by Ethernet for the installation but I'm not sure I actually believe this as how does the second box manage to update through wifi on first boot up but not the first box.
