A router may work depending on which one it is and what settings are available.
Personally I'd buy a switch (you can get a decent one for £20 or so) to plug into the network cable (and the PC) and also plug in a wireless access point (something like this https://www.ui.com/unifi/unifi-ap/ keep an eye out on eBay for cheap ones).
This will keep everything on the same network as your home network.

OT and probably a very basic question but I'm technologically challenged. I have a newly built outhouse in the back of my garden that I want to have wifi in. I have already laid a cat6 ethernet cable from the outhouse into the main house that will connect to the router in there (virgin fibre). To get a wifi network at the other end, is the simplest thing going to be to get another router and configure it somehow to broadcast a second wifi network? There will be PC there that I want to connect via a cable too which I presume I can plug into said router?
Would any old router do the job?
