Trying to expand my network

I am trying to get better internet coverage in my newly converted garage and am currently on EE wifi 7 at 1 GBPS in the house. I ran a cable from the back of the main router in my house to the garage and plugged it into the wifi 7 booster yet it only gives me 70 MBPS. How do I get my full internet speed in the garage with a cable coming from the main router? Do i need to add a router and change the configuration to act as a AP switch only?

Thank you for the feedback. I will have the electrician check the cable and make sure it suffices.

You're using a sparky to put network cabling in?  That might explain a lot.  I'd use a proper cable installer if I were you.

Make sure he he understands concepts like minimum bend radius etc and a proper certification tester would be nice.
