Hi am i best in getting the Wifi Pods from u or useing the TP Link i had used before with my old ISP Talktalk??

As i am getting a weak signal in our garden room as the router is at the front of the house and i do not want to move it as it is coneccted to the tv and phone 

 

What is best to do for the more use in the back of the house this is on the 2.5 wifi i have turned the 5wifi off as that was way not better

Your TP-Link will work with the Hub without issues. 

As for a garden room, personally I would look to run an external Cat 6 cable out to it.  There are too many problems trying to extend a wifi signal through a house and then to an outside room.

It is a room on the house we just call it garden room as it now has a solid roof from a glass one 

many people call them conservatory but we now call it garden room as it has a solid roof and looks out on to the garden

i just was asking as if the wifi pods work better as more control over them with the router and network??

The Pods are okay if they are free to you.  Otherwise no, as they don't seem to have any management software for roaming or band steering. 

If you really want control over your network, modem mode, a proper non wifi router and additional wifi access points are the way to go, expensive yes, but ultimately you get what you pay for. 

A slightly cheaper option would be modem mode with a Mesh system.

Have a look at this Mesh system at around £100.  Deco S4 | AC1200 Whole Home Mesh Wi-Fi System | TP-Link United Kingdom   There is a good picture to explain how these devices link together and propagate the Wifi through the house.
