do yo use BT internet too? It might be worth buying a BT mesh Wi-Fi extender as they have ethernet ports on the back. Be warned though they only work with the smart hub 2.my BT TV box only has wired ethernet (no wi-fi). I’ve tried various homeplug mains networking plugs (spent over £250) but none of them work properly because of how the building is wired.
Can anyone recommend a device which converts wired ethernet into 5g wi-fi?

That's a 5GHz version of the one I posted earlier on. I didn't realise that they made AC ones now. That would probably be a bit more reliable though is double the priceAre you sure you didn't need that the other way around, ie convert WiFi into ethernet?
If that's the case, you need something like this which can "bridge" your wifi network into ethernet for your box.
Some years ago I tried using an old BT hub as a wi-fi extender but couldn’t get it to work properly. I’d forgotten all about it. But I didn’t even know it could be used for the purpose I now need. So could I just plug ethernet from tv box into LAN port of hub and it will detect my wi-fi router.An old router with DHCP turned off. I use these as repurposed wireless points.
Thanks I’ll have a lookThey do exist but from experience they're not very reliable things.

This Netgear one can do what you need it to. Sorry for the US version of Amazon. Luckily what you need is fairly inexpensive but you use may vary with it because generally they don't use 5GHz WiFi but it may suit fine for what you need.
Yes, I use BT internet but have given up on the BT hubs due to constant disconnects and problems. Ive had a few different BT hubs over the years, all terrible, but I now use a TPLink modem/router and everything is great. Except for this damn TV box which only has an ethernet portdo yo use BT internet too? It might be worth buying a BT mesh Wi-Fi extender as they have ethernet ports on the back.

The problem I have is my TPLink router/modem is upstairs where the phone line comes in, my Humax BT youview TV box and TV etc are downstairs. The TV box only has wired ethernet and there is no ethernet wiring downstairs. I want some kind of device to plug into the ethernet port on the back of the TV box which will simply allow it to connect to the router via wi-fi.Are you sure you didn't need that the other way around, ie convert WiFi into ethernet?

Thanks, I’m ordering one of these from Amazon.OP,
I'm using this to feed a wifi signal to my Grandstream VOIP HT801 adaptor (only has an ethernet port, no wifi) and it works a treat:
