In theory, it should work. It shouldn't matter as long as you configure your Linksys router to allow other network devices, which do not support native Wi-Fi 6 functionality, to connect to it. You will have to double-check your Linksys router's user guide to make sure that it is configured to support backwards compatibility with non-Wi-Fi 6 devices. (It should by default as Wi-Fi 6 has only recently been released).

With that verified, you just need to configure the Express to join the Linksys wireless network as a client. This will allow it to share a printer connected to the base station's USB port.
