Broadband/WIFI Hardware

Hi I have a working Sky broadband and WIFI set up in my house but I need to connect My NAS via cable to the system. I can do this at the hub and possibly at a Sky Q box but I need the NAS in my new study which is not close to either hardware sources. I am looking to see if I can add a booster in the study and take the feed from that. However I am not sure what hardware would be best as there are SKY Broadband Booster and Sky WIFI Booster boxes available that would appear to offer this facility.

 

Could someone advise what the differences are and what would be most suitable please.

@TRF131 Or you could try powerline adaptors https://www.tp-link.com/uk/home-networking/powerline/

@TRF131 

A booster would do that job however some of the newer Sky boosters ship without an ethernet port so it would be pot luck if you got one with or without. 

Other options would be powerline or running a cable all the way from the router
