I don’t know alot about your TP-Link AX3000. Doing a google search I see they have a couple different ones. But basically you plug a network cable RJ-45 into the gateway from the AX3000 router. If your house has network wires running that is a big plus for you, if not the AX3000 is a mesh system and it will use wireless backhaul. Penning on what you have is how you will hook it up.
Yes, it’s best to turn off the WiFi on the gateway, when I did it my gateway now it runs about 20degs cooler. You can do that from the web page 192.168.12.1, go to Wi-Fi network and log in there you will need to turn off the SSID and Broadcast and drop the Transmission Power down to 12, you will need to make sure all 12 are turn off 4 in 2.4Ghz and 8 in 5Ghz. To give yourself a back door add a 1 to the SSID on the gateway 2.4Ghz WiFi, once you have your new router up and running you can turn off the last WiFi on the gateway.
You need to leave SSID 1 on for the backdoor to work.
Now on the AX3000 use your old SSID and password.
Hope this helps
