Additional 4G router for outbuilding

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.  

To contact EE Customer Services dial 150 From your EE mobile or 0800 956 6000 from any other phone.

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

That’s very helpful, thank you. Is there any particular extenders that are
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.
