Thank you for your question. You can plug a router into the Giga Hub and use PPPoE passthrough, but there is no bridge function in the Giga Hub. What is the problem you are trying to solve by adding a router? More specifics would be helpful.

Easiest is to use it as a switch, by plugging all wired connections into the LAN port, including the uplink to the Bell hub. This will make it act as a regular switch.

If you are talking about using it for WiFi purposes, that is not as easy because it will not provide roaming functionality amongst other things.
