I am looking for some advice, My PC is at the moment up stairs connected via cat six cable and on a speed test Shows 501.6 mbps down load and 38.8 mbps upload

I have a shed at the end of my garden. I want to put a computer in it with internet access. It is about 30 meters from the modem . I have run a Cat six cable from the modem in my house.to the shed my question is what device should I fit at the shed end? I would like to be able attach a PC and other devices and if possible to have WI –FI in theshed and garden

I asking for advice on what device should I attach at the shed end? I was looking at

SODOLA 8 Port Gigabit Switch, 8x 2.5G Network Switch, Unmanaged Ethernet Switch from Amazon

Just standard switch will allow you to connect, but i would suggest to go for known brands: Netgear, Tp-link (first ad's on AMZ, not advertising the sellers there)
8 or 5 ports depend how many devices you intend to have there

2.5Gbps switch will only benefit you if you have devices that support that speed, on both ends (modem, PC, AP, etc) as link speed will be set by "weakest" device
