Garage TV and wifi

Can I hard wire from my broadband router to my garage and link it to my sky puck ? And if I can, will it also act as a WiFi router ?

If you have a long enough cable. The other option is to use powerline adapters

No - the stream puck is not a Wifi router or Wifi extender.

@Faz14  In addition to @MarkGoldsmith  reply, If you're going to run a ethernet cable to the garden then you have a choice to get a network switch or if wifi is preffered an Acces Point.
