Garden via Ethernet but how to get wifi

We have an Ethernet cable running from the sky router to an outside building and have a cat 6 socket  all plugged in and working to which we then have an Ethernet cable going to a windows laptop.  We have a spare Ethernet cat 6 socket but would like to get WiFi up and running to connect mobile phone or iPad to in the garden building and or have a WiFi signal in the garden.

 

can I use a sky max pod and use an Ethernet cable from the cat 6 socket  to that and then that will give me WiFi ?  Or

Technically that would work, but Sky won't supply a Max pod for that purpose because external buildings are specifically excluded from the terms of the Enhanced Wall to Wall WiFi Guarantee.

@JoMC0 Unless you have two cables running to your Ethernet Socket bsck to the Sky Router then that second one will have NO connection. One cable one connection unless you install a small switch on the system.
