Adding a Wireless Access Point to Virgin Media 5

I currently have virgin media in my house with the 3 free boosters and it is working great.

We are now having a home office built in the bottom of the garden which will require internet access. Due to its construction the current WiFi wont reach.

 

we are having an Ethernet cable run from the hub in the lounge through an armoured cable into the new home office (2 cables in case one fails) so that i can hook it up to a Wireless Access Point and use our current broadband in the office.

I was wondering if anyone can suggest a good non expensive wireless access point (have been looking at the Netgear AC1200) that we can use / they have any experience with, i.e. the same sort of scenario

And also if it all works ok?

    Yes, it will work.

    You can set the access point to use the same SSID (Network name) and password, so your wireless devices will roam automatically between the AP and the HUB/pods.

    The above recommendation will be fine, however, as mentioned, WiFi-6 may be useful.
