Extend WiFi with Ethernet cable to an outbuilding 30metres from house

We have sky hub 4.2 in the house.  We have run an Ethernet cable from the house hub into an outbuilding and are looking to plug that into something that will extend the WiFi .  Has anybody and suggestions?

Either a dedicated wireless access point, a router running in a dedicated access point mode (not its default settings) or a Sky wireless booster.

Many thanks for your help. Will look at the router option.  Just got to look online how to do it as not sure how to change it at the moment. Cheers

Typically a commercial third party router will have an access point mode selectable in its settings.  ISP routers usually won't do so, and are best avoided for this role.
