Getting Wi-Fi to second device in Garage

I have a sky mini box in the garage which is connected by Ethernet cable from the main house and this works fine. 

I now also have a peloton bike in the garage and the Wi-Fi signal isn't strong.

 

is there a way of boosting the signal in the garage? Already have a booster in the house and it says adding a second booster will drop the strength of the first.

 

The ethernet cable that connects from the house goes into the booster and there is only one port on there so not possible to add a second wire into there and then into the peloton at the other side

I suggest you purchase a router that can also be used as a wireless access point.

(e.g. TP-Link AX20)

 

Put it in your garage and simply place it in access point mode and give it an IP address outside your DHCP range.

Connect the existing Ethernet cable to the port on the back marker WAN.

 

You'll then have WiFi and four spare Ethernet ports you can use in your garage.

Or put a simple ethernet switch on the end of the incoming cable, and attach the Q Mini to that.
