Put the Suberhub in modem mode and use the ASUS as your router.

Connect the wired devices to the new router.

When using the super hub in modem mode all network ports apart from one are disabled. The one that is enable connects to your router. And all other devices are connected via the router.

Cheers chaps. Is my choice of router a good option ?

Yes, it's very good, especially on the custom firmware:

Custom firmware ? What does that add to the party ?

VPN, more options, arguably better stability.
