That will be a modem/router. So you are piling router on router. A bad idea:

When you set up the RAX40, it will have tried to avoid any conflicts. Sadly, it doesn't always stick. Maybe something rebooted itself in your absence and screwed up the settings.
The preferred fix is to put the Virgin box into bridge (modem only) mode:

At least Virgin, unlike BT, does not block this mode.
