If you have the cash I'd advise turning off WiFi in your router, add a switch in the office (~£30) and a pair of dedicated access points (eg Ubiquiti UAP-AC-LITE ~£75 each).
Switch in the office has three ports in use (to the router, to the AP and to your PC in there). Your router probably has a switch to connect the front AP.

Hope this is the right place to ask... I’ve just moved to a new house where the router is in the front room.
There is a wired cat5 link to the back room which I have set up as an office/studio space and I’d like to have another access point there for wifi and wired connection. Do I need a bridge, a switch or something else?
My old router can be set up as a bridge, but no matter how I’ve looked it up I’ve not been able to figure out the actual difference between a switch and a bridge and the potential pros and cons...?!
Sorry if it’s a bit of a dumb question!
