Extending my EE broadband via an external ethernet cable

[trialistjoe1]

Please could you advise.
I would like to extend my EE fibre broadband to a garden room/office that is too far away for a wireless connection.  I already have an external ethernet cable between the buildings.  What devices do I need to connect in order to have wireless broadband available in the garden room for several wireless connections?  Is it just one device needed at the garden room connected via the cable to a port in th house, or is it more complicated than that?  I would like to have the full maximum speed of the EE fibre broadband available in the garden room.  What devices are recommended.
I would like to connect the cable to a port on the Smart wi-fi extender device rather than directly to the hub, is this an option or do I have to cable directly to the hub?.

Any Wireless Access Point (WAP).

Thank you for your reply.
I have looked at a range of wireless access points and there is a wide range of products and prices. I don't want to spend more than I need to, but will a low cost one do what I need?

From a reliable manufacturer like Netgear, TP-Link, Zyxel probably.

@trialistjoe1 If you need to maximise the speed, then you would be better to cable back to the router. If you cable to the extender then you will have to rely on how good the wi-fi is between it and the router. HTH

Hi @trialistjoe1 

If your garden room is wired into your house electric box then consider powerline adaptors. 

Thanks

@trialistjoe1  could you not just get another smart WiFi extender - you could try running the cable from an existing extender but I suspect you will get the best performance running it from the hub.

If you are running out or need more ports you can get a switch for £15 or less.

@trialistjoe1 You could always ask EE to supply you a 2nd smart extender which will be free of charge, max allowed 3, but do not say were you are putting it!

Agreed

Much better to take the ethernet cable from the back of the router to the garden room and then put an access point on the end, or even better put a small switch on the end feeding the access point and then you could plug a PC or TV in to the switch for full speed in the future

Feeding an access point from a Wi-Fi extender is asking for trouble in my opinion

Thank you for your reply.
I have an old switch, tp-link model TL-SF1005D; it is described as a 5-Port 10/100Mbps Desktop Switch.  Is this good enough for the job without losing some of the potential speed?  If so, wht should I be looking for?
