Anyone advise what I need to plug into a Gigabit Ethernet switch in my sons bedroom to enable him to have a reliable wifi signal there as he's too far from the router to get a signal at the moment.
Thanks

If that proves painful then an access point like this TP-Link http://amzn.to/2xVchMr should do the job
Thanks for that.
Managed to get it running but and there always is a but, my sons xbox wired connection is now trying to connect through the Sky router connected to the same gigabit switch. Very confused?
The procedure is quite common and works for many of us. Make sure the IP address of the Sky router is outside the DHCP address range of your main router, you should be able to ping the address and probably access the Sky routers menu. I have the same SSID and password on both my main router and my access point router but I use different Wifi channels.
