Afternoon all

I'm looking to get VM 250Gb broadband installed (likely to go for basic Sky package for TV). House recently renovated (lots of insulation etc so WiFi not great) cabled with Cat5e and CoAx from attic.
I'd like to distribute the VM BB from the attic and install a few (2 or 3) AP/Repeaters around the house for WiFi and Ethernet connections. I know there are loads of historic threads on this...but will the latest VM routers allow me install ethernet-connected APs/Repeaters without too much technical knowledge ??. Or will I need to get some Network-type company to setup ??. It's only for typical use, Smart TVs, Consoles, + two people working from home.

Last thing - is there a go-to AP/Repeater for this type of application that doesn't require a PhD in Networking to setup ?.

Many thanks,
K
