Ok doesn't work so how do I get internet downstairs when MS is upstairs?
Can the extension be manipulated/rewired to provide access?
MS is needed upstairs just with lockdown etc working from home is now a thing.
wifi is bad so need to switch from up to down to up....
Setup at mo is :-
up=MK3 faceplate,openreach modem,own router.
dw=MK3 faceplate,openreach modem,long lan cable,plusnet router
Fixed! Go to the fix.

If I understand correctly, try:-
MK3 faceplate (MS),openreach modem,own router,long lan cable,(plusnet router)
If you only need one connection remove the plusnet router otherwise just use the LAN sockets or use a 5/8-way switch.
Using a TP-Link Archer VR600 modem-router.

Want to do away with the trip hazzard.
I tried cable from own router to plusnet one and the plusnet one wouldn't give/get internet.
Ideally I would want to make the extension internetable if possible.

You should leave your modem and router connected to the Mater socket. For some options on how to get internet data downstairs see. https://community.plus.net/t5/Tech-Help-Software-Hardware-etc/Distributing-Data-around-Larger-Proper...

I thought plugging a LAN cable from my router to the plusnet router would work but doesn't seem to?

It will work. Assuming it is 'your' reouter that is connected to the modem and you want to use the Hub One as an access point the settings are here https://community.plus.net/t5/My-Router/Using-a-2nd-Plusnet-Hub1-as-a-Wireless-Access-point/m-p/1385...
Presumably you have an Ethernet cable between the two. You connect the cable to a LAN socket at each end.

Hi @teamagoo
Re-reading your original posts I get the impression that you may have tried connecting both routers to the line - one upstairs and one downstairs? This will not work. Try disconnecting the downstairs router from the MK3 faceplate and just use the router as a 4 port switch.
To get rid of the trip hazard of the cable follow one of the routes discussed in @Baldrick1 well laid out help post.
