    You would have to put the Virgin hub in modem mode and feed the output into whatever wifi 6 router you buy.

    Or, the other way around; put the wifi 6 router into access point mode?

    This could work as my dell xps killer wifi app insists my lack of Ax access point is something to be improved on.
    Is it very different to using vm hub modem mode.

    thanks
