You would need to use an Ethernet cable from the wan port of your new router into the virgin router.

An old Asus RTAC66-U will do the job perfectly well, has a USB port plug a drive in and can be configured as a DLNA server.

Streaming 4k mainly depends on the connection speed and strength of the link between your TV and the router. Ideally you want 50mbps between router and TV if using wireless
