Home broadband extension

Hi all, I have an office setup at the back of my garden and have purchased the EE extender as a solution for my WiFi problems. My issue is that I am unable to connect to my home WiFi from the office setup and no matter where I put the extender a problem arises. I have  placed it at the back of the house but the extender does not tech my office setup.  I have also put the extender in my office, but it connect to the broadband for 5 seconds with a solid agua light and turns red immediately after. Has anyone had any experience solving the issue I’m facing? I essentially need WiFi at the back of my garden when my hub is at the front pf my house. And help or guidance would be amazing

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

@Joshru_02 You would even have a choice to try two places for the Powerline depending on how good your Mesh in the home is too the Smart wireless or right back to the EE Router, powerline is never going to be blistering fast so if that is important to you forget powerline and run a External rating Ethernet between the two locations! 

My powerline will not push anymore than about 30Mb/s over the distance that it is operating at!
