If changing the passwords on both the hub and the extender is a good idea, does it matter which order I do it in?

Cheers as always.
I think anything that can be accessed wirelessly or from WAN should be considered as vulnerable. Recommend you change all passwords from the deafults.

I also have my router set so that administration can ONLY be performed by a wired LAN side connection.

Hub and extender are separate so it shouldn't matter which order you do them in. They can always be reset (usually a pinhole that you poke something into) if something goes funny.

HTH.
