In theory, with the virgin kit switched to modem only, it should work with anything.
I practice, virgin has a poor track record. E. G. There was a time when setting up a new roku streamer was very problematic. And there are many reports of virgin WiFi not placing nicely with sky TV WiFi mesh system as used by sky q boxes. When I added sky I insisted that the engineer used my wired power line kit and left sky WiFi disabled
I am wary of smart WiFi solutions that are allowed to change channels, nodes, routes in an ongoing auto optimise way.
I have a couple of Asus routers configured as wired access points to my virgin hub, so I can have strong fast WiFi where I use tablets for video streaming.. With those I can clock 100+ mb speeds on speed tests at fast.com And I use wired wherever possible. All the virgin WiFi has to do is work for phones and for alexa on amazon echo speaker. It manages that OK.
So a fancy mesh system is a nice to have, one day, maybe. But by then virgin will be onto their next generation of routers, which hopefully will be smarter and stringer
