How to get a Wi-Fi extender for annex?

I've recently signed up to Skyboost but even with the new hun I am unable to get the Wi-Fi in our annex which is not attached to the house and not included in the Wi-Fi guarantee. Is it possible to by a booster/Wi-Fi extender?

@Nicola08 yes there literally hundreds of options but a straight forward extender is not the best solution for an external annex. Best solution is to run an ethernet cable from the hub tomthe annex and buy a cheap,wifi extender buttgat is best done during the building phase.

 

The. Second best solution is assuming the out-building is connected to the main house's mains supply is to buy a Powerline Adapter kit with a built-in wifi access point. The base adapter plugs into a wall socket nesr the hub - you can get the adapters with a pass through mains socket - and connect it by an ethernet cable. The adapter with thecwifi adapter plugs into a docket in the extension. Avoid using the adapters in trailing plug blocks as thry will reduce speeds you get.
