TP Link Entry Level Model with Sky BBand

I live in a sprawling bungalow so our kitchen is MILES from the living room. Sounds cool right. It is not. Can I use one of these halfway from the rooter to the kitchen to boost the signal around a corner or two?

 

TP-Link RE330 AC1200Mbps WiFi Extender Booster, Ethernet Port, EasyMesh, WiFi Booster Range Extender.

 

Please and thanks.

@ArnieRHC it is best to have a matched units using TP-Link device to extend a Sky wifi signal is not sensible as the two could interfere. A better suggestion is to look at buying a powerline networking kit that will use your home's mains wiring to get the data to the kitchen. These kits can be boughtvwith a built-in wifi access point. The alternative would be to turn off the Sky hub's wifi and buy a whole home WiFi set up with say 3 satellites to give strong wifi in every room.
