Re: Fibre to WiFi propagation
@Jamie1476 extending the fibre feed is not straight forward but you can ise a longer Ethernet cable from the ONT to the hub allowing it to be moved. These are cheap to buy and you do not need anything special.

Re: Fibre to WiFi propagation
At least one online supplier lists an ONT relocation kit with back-to-back optical couplers and a compatible length of pre-terminated fibre-optic cable: actually using this is potentially problematic because technically the connection belongs to network provider as far as the ONT itself.
As @Chrisee indicates, moving the Hub by using a longer ethernet cable is simpler, and there's no loss of speed over Cat5e (possibly Cat6A if the service is 2.5Gbs or 5Gbs on CityFibre infrastructure)
