Looking to have a TP LinkArcher AX10 AX1500 dual band router hooked to my hub 3 as we have issues with the internet on our phones , it's switching between the 2.4 ghz and 5ghz band quite a few times a day plus there's also load of devices hooked to the network alone like Nest Mini's , a dehumidifier etc . Broadband is working flawlessly , i'm hitting 1gbps even tho i'm on a Volt booster M500 package now , pretty sure it's the speed is scalled down a bit but it's ok .
Anything special required to make the change , also we have a wi-fi signal booster which will become useless if the hub is being set as a modem right ?
Looking forward hearing from you , thank you.

It only needs to be setup initially as below, after this the power up sequence does not matter.
1 - Set Hub 3 in modem mode and switch it off.
2 - Setup the Archer in DHCP/Automatic IP mode and let it settle.
3 - Connect a Cat 6a cable between the Archer's WAN port and any port on the Hub 3.
4 - Switch on the Hub 3.
You should now get a WAN IP to the Archer. That's it done.
As for the wifi extender it may work with the Archer, or you may find you don't need it anymore.
