Secondary wifi in garage / garden
I have recently converted my garage which is exterior to my property. I have had a data cable extended out of the back of my existing sky rooter to have a 2nd data point in my garage. I can connect directly from this into my laptop. Can I get a 2nd rooter box or booster to connect so that the garage has a wifi? Or would this just have to be a booster? The garage is around 20-40 metres from the main house and rooter.

A second router is almost always inappropriate. The simplest hardware to use is a Sky booster which matches your Hub model, but you'd need to source that yourself (and be aware that the v2 Sky Broadband Booster does not have an ethernet port)
