what access point to add to Sky Q router

Hi can you help with the best access point.

 

I have sky Q router.

with armored cat 6 network cable pluged into it and run all the way down to our summer house. 

terminated into a netgear poe network switch

then a cable from the switch to a wall socket in the summer house.

 

what would be the best access point to buy to just plug in and play to the wall socket & mount on the wall for wifi in the summer house.

 

i heard ubiquiti ap-ac-lr dont work ive used these before

The simplest solution, if you can source one, is a Sky wireless booster which matches your Sky Hub model.  Sky don't sell these, but inevitably some have leaked onto the usual online vendor platforms.

 

Edit: just be careful, as the v2 model of the Sky Broadband Booster does not have an ethernet port.

'plug and play' will be hit and miss: the advantage of a Sky booster is that it picks up the SSID (wireless network name) from the Sky Hub.
