Whats does a Sky Q booster do?

I am new to Sky Q. I have a main box connected by Ethernet to my Internet and I have a Sky puck in the room next door for multi room. I was given a booster too. Is the booster boosting the signal from the main box to the puck or is it boosting my WiFi to assist with connection to the puck?

 

My Internet is with Virgin.

@Funkfunk  the booster will be boosting the mesh signal that the Q box emits by wifi to the Sky Q mini box
