Re: Wifi not getting to garden room
@Ferdinand1 boosters are usually not that succesful in getting usable WiFi to an out building. By far the best solution is running an ethernet cable from the hub to the building and using a wifi access point if your business devices wont connect directly. An alternative is to buy a Powerline networking kit which use the mains cabelling to carry the data which should work assuming the garden room mains supply comes from the house.
You can buy these kits with built-in wifi access points and are normally easy to set up. One adapter plugs into a wall socket near the hub and linked by the included ethernet cable . The second adapter with the wifi adapter plugs into a wall socket in your garden room. Work on getting roughly 25% of the rated speed in practice.if you buy online the system can be returned if it doesnt work in your setup.

Note that the Sky WiFi 'guarantees' specifically exclude separate outside buildings.

Re: Wifi not getting to garden room
Hi,
I have a room in the bottom of my garden, I use a powerline WiFi booster.
You can get pick them up for £50.
It has a transmiter and a reciever, you plug one to a powerpoint near the router, and the reciever where you want the WiFi. It will create a copy of the wifi in another room, plus you can have an ethernet point as well.
There are a few caveats with anyone's WiFi guarantee, I don't think they will count another building as part of the agreement.
