You might contact a local computer shop and ask for recommendations to have someone help you wire connect the two buildings. Would be too much for someone to help you with this. No activation is needed. Just connect one end of the wire to the RBR and one to a RBS at the flat or you can connect a Ethernet LAN switch at the granny flat, like a NG GS-108 swtich so the tennent can connect more then just one wired device if needed. This would be a full wired connection for there needs.

awesome Furry!! i got no idea what they mean but I will try to remember them before talking to some local computer shop guy.
Thank you very much!
I think connecting a Ethernet LAN switch to granny flat seems a likely option at this stage! And also thank you for switch recommendation!
