I have a spare FritzBox that I have set up as an access point at one end of the house where coverage was a bit spotty.  It seems to work fine - I have it set to fixed IP 192.168.178.4, DHCP off.  The "master" router's DHCP range starts at .20.  The spare FritzBox is wired-connected using one of the four "LAN" ethernet ports to one of the ports on a 24-port switch that is wired-connected in turn to the master Fritzbox.

 

 

 

My question: Should I expect to be able to use the remaining three LAN ports on the spare Fritzbox to connect wired devices, as they don't seem to work!?

Yes it should work - You need to setup your FB as an IP client. See info here - https://en.avm.de/service/fritzbox/fritzbox-7490/knowledge-base/publication/show/3244_Setting-up-the-FRITZ-Box-as-an-IP-client/
