Firstly could a Mod please split this thread at Dave's note Tue 22 Sep 20 15:31 and move it to Computer problems.
Secondly, no doubt others will correct any mistakes I make.
To correct some understanding;
You have an ISP, an internet service provider, who supplies internet connectivity to your house. That is usually a cable of one sort or another. In your case the phone point. (very common).
That connection terminates in your house at a modem. The modem is the box responsible for your house communicating with the internet.
Connected to the modem is a router. That router is responsible for sharing the connection from the modem to all the devices in your house.
The router shares that connection out in two ways; via cable and via WiFi.
There are essentially three devices; the modem, the wired router and the WiFi router. Typically they are a single box and you wouldn't even know that there were three devices in the one box.
So you can add a second WiFi router by simply plugging it into your main router. For your purposes that second router has to be able to use a VPN.
Thus, anything connected to router 2 will be part of the VPN and think it is in the UK. Anything connected to the main router, by wire or WiFi will not be part of the VPN and will know that it is in Poland.
The main router will be set to ignore and simply pass through any VPN traffic (the default setting in virtually all cases).
In attempt to illustrate...
Orange ISP -> Chez BBD Primary Router
Primary router -> existing WiFi registered as Poland based. (current situation)
Primary router -> VPN WiFi router (new router)
VPN WiFi router -> WiFi set as UK based
There on anything which connects to WiFi 1 will bypass the VPN and be seen as Poland based, anything which connects to WiFi 2 will go through the VPN and be seen as UK based.
No change is required on your devices, other than simply connecting them to the appropriate WiFi - and changing them to the other as often as you want.
So you need to buy a VPN compatible WiFi router, a VPN service and whatever device you will plug into your TV to make it smart.
Others know more about which device to use. I use a Chromecast but most people seem to do well with Firesticks.
As for moving it to the UK, then sort of. A WiFi router needs to be connected via a modem to an internet service. Simply taking it to the UK will do nothing unless you plug it into a UK service.
Unless you use a 5G/4G mobile internet service and then you'd need to worry about roaming charges.
Try and get that lot straight in your head and ask for clarification wherever neccessary.
