Ethernet to garden office

Hi there, I have built a garden office 35 metres from my sky broadband router. I plan to run an Ethernet cable to the office and I want to replicate the WiFi in the office so I can connect multiple devices. What equipment do I need in the office to achieve this? I've been looking on Amazon for a wireless access point or similar but I'm a bit lost as, clearly, I'm not very technical. Thanks for any advice or products you can point me to achieve this.

I don't think that should be an issue: the garden office booster wouldn't be acting as a mesh node.

When Sky is your ISP, the simplest solution is to acquire a Sky wireless booster to match the Hub model: that won't require any configuration.

Thanks for your response @TimmyBGood. I have a booster and four mini boxes in the house and I think there is a maximum number of nodes that can be used. As the booster will be hard wired to the Ethernet do you think there will be any issues with capacity on the system?
