Is this unacceptable?

You will be better putting virgin hub in modem mode and using your own router. I'm on M500 using a Asus ax82u router. This is a speed test taken upstairs with router downstairs.

Mesh or AP, recommendations?

I have two RT-AX82U setup up, one as primary and one via AIMesh. Works swimmingly and in case one goes down, I can use the other as primary router.

Mesh Router Design vs "Conventional" Router

I use two Asus RT-AX82U routers in an AI Mesh setup. Works great and in a pinch if one goes down, the other can be primary router until I can fix whatever is wrong.

What router should I get for an upgrade to my nighthawk?

I just bought this Asus brand router and it has a fantastic Wi-Fi signal! The ASUS RT-AX82U AX5400 is really impressive.
