yep, any router can be used for this purpose. you'd disable DHCP on the client router in other words your existing one, then plug it in to a lan port on the virgin hub and let it handle DHCP unless you want it the other way around i.e the second router routing all your traffic in which case you'd turn on modem only mode on the virgin super hub. their router has 4 lan ports.
cheers,

Can any router be used for this? Can I repurpose my Draytek Vigor
2830?

One thing I forgot to ask: does there modem/router include an Ethernet
port?
