Wired with Wireless

My wireless router is on the other side of the house, and can't be moved closer, and the wi-fi doesnt reach my room. 

However, I do have a cat6 cable running directly from a keystone next to the wireless router to my room, I plan to use this for a wired connection for my PC, however, I also want wi-fi coverage in my room for my phone and laptop.

 

Does anyone know how I can go about achieving this. because I genuinely have no idea on what to do.

Get a wireless access point with multiple ethernet ports. Plug your long cable into the AP's ether port marked 'WAN' and plug your desktop into one of the other ethernet ports.
