Hub 3 ethernet switch in modem only mode

Recently went through the pain of setting of TP-Link Deco meshed Wi-Fi on my Hub 3 (to overcome the woefully bad performance of the Hub 3 WiFi) - lots of good guides on the forum to do this - shame its so finicky.

Now I've found that the ethernet switch only seems to be able to support port 4 - where the Deco is connected. The other ethernet ports on the back of the hub don't seem to be supported.  I've overcome this by putting a switch into port 2 of the Deco hub and reconnecting the hard wired connections I had to the VM Hub, but I took some time to debug this.  Has anyone else seen this problem?

If the Hub is in modem mode, only one ethernet port is active - because you have switched off its router.

In moden mode - just connect the switch to the free ethernet port on the master Deco unit.
