How to extend broadband to garage at bottom of garden

Hi. I'm trying to extend my WiFi coverage to my garage, approx. 30m at the bottom of my garden. I've purchased a Sky Q Wireless booster 2020 edition and after a bit of experimentation, I've got it where I have a degree of coverage.

 

However, I'm trying to install a cctv camera at the garage, and there is nowhere that the camera can be placed where it receives adequate signal.

 

I installed a cat6 cable along side the power cables. Is there a different box that I could get, which would essentially act as a secondary WiFi router if I plug the other end in to my existing router?

 

I tried to search for this initially but couldn't find anything.

 

Thanks.

@David380 if your Sky booster has an ethernet port you can use that but not all Sky boosters dont. What you need is a cheap WiFi Access Point Like this one rather than a router as such simply plug the Ethernet lead in to the unit
