I have a EE4G router with extenders. I want to use this same account to connect an outbuilding which is out of range of the house (20 meters away). Can I buy an additional router with the same sim card/account or do I need to try and hard wire extender with very long cable? Any other options?
Many thanks

@ChiefRDGM Another router will mean a new contract which you can do but you should be able to get that far when using 2 range extenders. One linked to your router the other linked to that range extender.

You can't have more than 1 SIM with the same no. You could have a 2nd mobile router but on a diff no.

recommended with EE4G routers? If the range was an issue, the extender
could be hard wired to the outbuilding as I have a trench/service pipe in
place. --

Is the outbuilding on the home's electricity mains on the same distribution fuse? If so, you can consider Powerline Adapters.
