That sounds fine.
Get an HG612:
- unlock it, (dead easy so no point in paying more for one that's already done);
- keep it in bridge mode, (it is actually a two port VDSL2 router);
- make sure it is on the same subnet as your Cisco, and connect its LAN 2 to a Cisco LAN port or perhaps to one on the switch. That makes accessing its GUI and also using telnet from any machine on the network a doddle;
- disable DHCP on the Home Hub
if that's possible, otherwise you have a problem, and there's your extension WAP.
- if DHCP cannot be disabled on it, consider a cheapish WAP instead.

The indispensable man or woman passes from the scene, and what happens next is more or less the same thing as was happening before.
