Just been upgraded to full fibre and have received a new Hub 3 so I have the Hub 2 as the spare and was wondering if it can be repurposed as an "extender, using TP Link plug ins and cables, as the signal at the back of the house isn't that good?????

Pleased you found the answer and got it working.
