Thanks, I use a bt whole home to extend it but even the Wi-Fi coming off the router drops. Can I plug a different router directly into the virgin broadband?
Yes, but before you spend the money it really is worth testing whether wired connections are stable, as buying a router won't solve issues with the underlying connection.
edit: to clarify, you cannot remove the hub completely, but you can run it in "modem mode" which turns off all features except the bit that terminates the coax cable - it then passes the connection onto your router..
you say you have the BT whole home - is that the wifi discs? there's a post at the top of this board with some information about incompatibility - i think it's fixed, but might be worth a read..
