Direct connection speed dropped from 35Mbps to 10Mbps after setting up Netgear Extender wn3000rpv3

Wifi doesn't come down the phoneline. That's how you get the Internet. This then feeds a device at your end and that provides the wifi.

The speed of your wifi depends on the speed of the Internet.  

Thats understood. Please pardon my brevity.

By "Our wifi was down our phoneline" I meant that our home broadband was previously obtained via an Asymmetric Digital Subscriber Line which utilised an existing phone system connected to the BT line.

It is also understood that the speed of the wifi radio signal being received by a device is dependent upon the internet speed being received by the router providing that wifi radio signal: 'rubbish in - rubbish out'.

What is this 4g hub? Just because yiuy get a better "hub" – is it a modem router? – doesn't mean that you will get faster Internet.

Again, apologies for my brevity, and for any confusion caused.
The point I had tried and failed to make here was that our home broadband was previously obtained as described above, and is now being obtained via mobile internet which utilises a 4G mobile phone network and a mobile broadband router connected to that network.
The modem router was purchased from 3 / Three and is consistently advertised as a "4G Hub"; as such, I naively thought '4G Hub' to be a standard term, hence "today I got a 4g hub".

You may have done this already. I can't tell from your message.

With regard to your comments on the WN3000RPv3, they are also understood.

I am aware of its age, have its manual, and have accessed its downloads etc.
Apologies for not explaining this more fully in my initial post.

I had provided these confusing elements of my initial post to help inform the background to the query, which seems ironic in hindsight.

The only part of my post that I wanted a response to was the following question:

• Is it possible for the extender to have influenced the download speed of the laptop connected directly to the hub?
  
  (By 'Extender' I mean the Netgear WN3000RPv3 Wireless Access Point being used to extend the range of my WiFi network as instructed by the relevant manual. My naivete may have played a role in further confusion here, as the manual described this bit of kit as a 'Range Extender', so I referred to it as an 'Extender')

But I've got it sorted now, so this can be closed.

For future queries I'll be sure to avoid brevity and marketing terms, and to provide as much information as possible.
Cheers
