Extend Sky multi room to garden building 40 metres away

I wish to extend my WiFi from main house to a garden building 40 metres away.

 

I've been advised to get a pair of TP-Link Point to Point transmitters.

 

The house transmitter will be connected to my Sky Hub by Ethernet cable and the garden room receiver will be connected to some sort of local router.

 

Will this solution work the SkyQ mini box in the garden room?

 

What additional device would I need to act as a local router in the garden room?

 

TIA Ian

An unmanaged ethernet switch and a wireless access point would be the most versatile combination: having a second router on a domestic network is typically unhelpful.

 

You'd probably want to disable WiFi on the Mini box and connect it to the ethernet switch: that way the Mini won't attempt to use an inadequate wireless signal from the house.
