I kind of have that.
Virgin hub in lounge, in modem mode. Ethernet to switch on the other side of the room by the tv/console, and also under the floor upstairs to a switch in the office. Then Amazon Eero's are plugged into the switches at the TV and in the office to do mesh wifi for the house.
(Eero does the router duties as the modem plugs into the WAN side of it rather than the switch)
So TV/Comp/Console are ethernet, mesh for the rest

Wondering if there’s a kind-of half way mesh solution to this...
Virgin cable in, hub in modem mode then connect a proper router to that. Run Ethernet to office, garage for hardwired devices (computers, NAS etc) and another to the back of the house to hardwire a mesh router (if that’s even a thing, like a fancy access point?).
Alternatively, forego mesh and just get a crazy powerful router placed in the middle of the house and connect that to the virgin hub with a much longer cable and still have the other stuff hardwired in.
