I have recently moved over to EE and have the smart hub pro with 3 range extenders. I have lots of home automation and I used to have an Asus router where everything worked perfectly. Since moving to this EE router every week Im having to reboot or reset devices.

Can this ee router be used as Ana access point so I can get another Asus router to do the control and DDNS etc? Also have full remote access to it?

@mccltd-1  It may be possible to use a Lan to Lan connection on the Hub Pro, but it is likley to cause a lot more issues than you are having now.

Which Asus device do you have now?

Is it not possible to get another WiFi Pro extender? How big a mansion do you have?

@mccltd-1 I have my Asus XT8's one in router mode wan to lan on the EE router and the other AI Meshed to the XT8 router when connected to the Asus see the EE router with no problems and web interface to the EE ok, cannot do in reverse when connected to the EE, but then again the Asus is a superior router, what can one say, only issue so far is printing, but just drop down to the EE to do that, not a gamer so really care he-haw about that in double nat mode. EE router is going back in it's box shortly if it ever get's the latest FW update, and only checking it because of issues complained about with slow performance over time, at day 85 this morning, wife has started to complain her pc is getting slower, so plan just to soft restart tomorrow morning to see if it clears up her issue and stops the complaint...
