Should I add a second hub or a booster?
Hi,
I've just had a cabin built at the bottom of my garden which I intend to use as my office. As it's a long distance from my hub, I know the Wi-fi will not reach. Whilst running electric to it, my electrician included an Ethernet cable which is plugged into my current hub. I'd like to be able to connect multiple devices within the cabin and so I need to know what I should buy to do so. Spoke to a lady at Sky but don't think she really knew.
Is it possible to buy a second hub and connect them both via the Ethernet cable, or is there some sort of booster I should buy that can connect to that cable?
if so, can anyone recommend what specifically I need to buy as the lady I spoke with said they don't sell these separately.
Thanks!

Not a second router: that tends to break everything.
The easiest hardware to use is a Sky wireless booster (with an ethernet port) but as you were correctly advised, Sky doesn't actually sell those and so any you see on eBay are dubious.

Thank you. I've ordered a Sky Q Wireless booster from Amazon. Hopefully that will do the trick!
