Hi.
I have a Hub 4 which is in modem mode connected to a Asus router mesh (Asus rt-ax92u and a Asus ax-300 v2).
If I connect via ethernet to this mesh will I get the full 1.2gb download speed that I have (1gb plan)?
Should I connect the ax3000 as the main router as this has a 2.5gb WAN - the rtax92u is a better spec but is limited to 1gb WAN?
Thanks
David.

The Hub 4 only has a 1Gb NIC, so around 940Mb tops on ethernet. You will need the Hub 5 if you want a 2.5Gb NIC to match the Asus. You will also need all the kit to have >1Gb NIC's to get any advantage of the extra 200Mb. It's a very expensive route to go down. Invest in 10Gb kit for future proofing and think about fibre connections rather than ethernet.
