Extending to a shed

Hi, I have new EE hub with the wifi extenders to get a good signal round my house.  It's not a big house but when I was with BT they sent me them as I had spots that had poor signal.  The question I have is I have a shed/ office down the garden with a CAT5 cable running down to it and I used to have a BT disc plugged in to it it from one I had in my kitchen via this cable.  I don't know if it was supposed to work like this butu it did.  However, it doesn't now work when I do the same with the new EE equipment.  Is there a way to make this work with the gear I have?  Thanks

Is the office on the same mains electricity circuit as the house? if so, you could use Powerline Adapters  .

@Enduser New EE Smart Wireless Extender's in both places, one in the kitchen and one in the shed?

This is what I think I have done but it isn't working in the shed.  Maybe an off and on again will be enough.
