Any way, I have a spare BT smart hub and was wondering if I could use it to like the paragraph above?..... If so, exactly how?
Thanks 👍
Fixed! Go to the fix.

It probably won't work.
I seem to recall the BT smart hub firmware tries to look for a valid broadband connection. If there is no broadband coming into the DSL grey port, the hub will think there is a fault condition and shut down the wifi and/or reboot the hub periodically until normal broadband is restored. This was based on my observations of Smart hub 1 (2016 model) several years ago.

You can do this. I had trouble with early firmware but if you fancy having a go the instructions are here. https://community.plus.net/t5/Everything-else/Configuring-a-BT-SmartHub-6A-as-an-Etherner-Switch-Rou...
From memory you get a constant flashing purple light. Do let us know how you get on as with newer firmware it might work fine.
