It’s a Virgin Media home Hub 3 (UK) which I believe is an arris. Why does this make a big difference?

Two routers on your network can cause headaches. For example, you can end up with local address problems. Among other things, the other router can misdirect or block addresses that the Netgear router usually handles, such as routerlogin.net or the usual IP address for a router, 192.168.1.1.
This explains some of the other drawbacks.

It may be possible to put the Virgin modem/router into modem only (bridge) mode and then to use the second device as the router.Can I put Hub in Bridge Mode - Virgin Media Community - 4888868
Some Internet service providers, such as BT in the UK, supply modem/routers that won't work in bridge mode. There may be ways to get the modem/router to cooperate. Sometimes it is easier to put the second router into AP mode. But that has its own drawbacks:
