Hello thank you both I managed to fix it.
In case anyone is wondering what to do this was my fix:
Put the virgin router into bridge/modem mode.
Unplug everything out of the virgin router.
Turn the virgin router on and wait until the lights turn green/blue whatever is your colour for your router.
Then plug in the R2 and turn it on. Wait 2 minutes and then test to see if it's working.
Plug in the access points one by one, I had to reset then by using a pin in the back of each one.
All works great now.
Last question: When I go into Network Monitor, it says nothing is running through the access points. This is by design isn't it I presume?. It might say '0' but it's still working isn't it I presume?
