Hi all,
I currently have the hub 3 in modem mode and tp link deco P9 as the mesh wifi set up. The Ethernet port from the first deco (router) provides wired connection upstairs through this face plate. Only 1 port is currently ‘live’, and I want to now use the second by installing the relevant cat 5/6 cable. My question is how should I connect the router to the 2 ports? Is this via a network switch, and if so when should the switch be used after the hub 3 or the first deco (router)?
Thank you

When a VM hub is in modem mode one and only one port is active. That goes to your router/devices. DO NOT try to connect anything else to the hub. The switch, which allows additional devices to be connected, goes to the router.
