I have a Solwise Piggy6 powerline adapter which extends my network to another part of the house. Only issue is its only ethernet and doesn't have wifi. Is there any device I can connect into one of the ethernet ports on the piggy6 that will extend my wifi to that part of the house too?

Yes there are plenty of devices to create a wireless network from an ethernet connection. I've been looking at the "GL.iNet GL-MT300N-V2 (Mango) Wireless Mini Portable VPN Travel Router" recently. Maybe take a look and see if that, or something similar, will do what you need. I don't think it will extend the same wifi, but create a new wifi ssid.
You could also look at wifi extenders which would extend the actual wifi rather than create a new connection from the ethernet.

Just plug an AP in, it’s literally why they are designed to do. If you need more ports plug a switch in first.
While clearly well meaning, other than the first and last sentence, everything you posted was technically horrible. Op needs an AP, not an under powered bit of junk running *WRT badly. Extenders are a technical monstrosity that is best avoided unless you like halving the available bandwidth and just don’t care.
