My Virgin Media has an option for 'modem mode' or similar that
switches off DHCP.
You can find this in the admin webpage on http://192.168.0.1
I use my own router behind it that provides DHCP and Wifi.

It's bad. You never know which DHCP server will respond.
Both will. The question is which will respond
first. Apparently, one of OP's DHCP servers is faster than the other
(at providing DHCP responses), and that is why all of the assigned
host IP addresses are in its range.
(Presumably, once the enquiring host gets a response, it will
configure according to that and ignore the other response.)
