The Hub 1 is a router, and yes you can turn off the WiFi, but plugging another router into it can cause issues.
That said, I used to run a BT HH5, the same as the Hub 1,with a Netgear router, at the simplest lever you need to ensure the IP address ranges are different. A better solution would be getting a modem, or router than can be configured as modem only.
I would have thought you would be better going to the Google/Next support site for an answer.

It's actually worse than that with Google/Next WifI.
It isn't really ia system designed to be used just as an access point - if you do you lose mesh and other functionality and can only use one unit.

My advice to the OP would be to replace the Hub One with a standalone xDSL modem (or router that has a proper bridge mode) if they want to use Nest WiFi or look elsewhere.
BT sells a mesh disc system that is designed to be plugged into an existing router for example
