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.
This is roughly what I do. All my Google Wifi APs are hard cabled for backhaul. I have a layer 2 gigabit switch plugged into my main Google AP for connecting things like Hue sync box etc
