It could be a simple question, but can the Ethernet port also function as an input? Since we don’t have Wi-Fi signal in the loft, but we have a LAN cable connected, is it feasible to connect this extender using the LAN cable so we get Wi-Fi coverage there?

Check for a wireless access point instead of an extender when LAN is installed in the loft.

I located this item, it's also a more affordable option.

This device is quite outdated, only working with certain older wireless protocols (up to version n). The one below offers AC and dual-band functionality (2.4 GHz and 5 GHz) plus AP mode capability. https://www.amazon.nl/TP-Link-AC1200-Wif...B01MD1SKLL

I understand, it’s just a casual time with friends browsing social media. That’s all.

That's correct. The other factor I mentioned is that older gadgets lacking support for 802.11ac standards tend to lose access to security patches much earlier, leading to a quicker end-of-life.
