I have tried disabling the virgin router Wi-Fi channels but this does not improve the issues with the Orbi.
The issues are still there if the Orbi is in router or AP mode.

Have even thought about the TP link Deco BE65 BE9300 but i have had an Orbi mesh system previously and it was excellent.

Hoping the beta FW will change this.
1600 sq ft, hoping the RBS is out at 30 feet or a bit more. 1600sq feet the RBR alone could work well.
