Theoretically either a Q booster or a v1 Sky Broadband Booster can provide that functionality (but not the v2 Sky Broadband Booster which doesn't have an ethernet port)

 

However Sky won't supply one for that purpose, and adding the additional monthly subscription required for booster loan to improve household WiFi coverage would be a very expensive way of solving the problem, given USB to WiFi adapters are from around £20.

@Kez2485  You can purchase USB to ethernet adapters online, Sky don;t provide these.

Like you I'm a customer here, Sky Employees are clearly identified as such.

@Kez2485  Is the PC in a different room to the router and does the PC have an Ethernet port on it already?

@Kez2485Might better to use powerline adapters to bridge the distance. It might be better than trying to connect via Wi-Fi.
