How to know if a router will work with a directional wifi antenna?

[piotor98]

I'm looking to get a router to work with a specific model of a directional wifi antenna and I don't know what to buy. I live in a country with very limited choices btw.

Will this antenna work with this router?

The antenna is already bought so I'm looking to get a router that will work with it.

It looks like the antennas unscrew from the R7000 so you could remove one and replace it with the antenna you linked.

What are you trying to accomplish? That directional antenna may not do what you want.

I'm trying to get wifi from one house to another about 100m away, there's no possibility of running a cable between the houses

To do what you want, the best answer is a PAIR of directional WIFI access points pointing at each other creating a point-to-point link. Engenius and Ubiquiti both make OUTDOOR access points that you would point between the two buildings. Something like these -- https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16833168115 You run an ethernet cable from the main router to the first of those, then at the other building you use an ethernet cable to bring the signal back inside to the devices. You can use an ethernet switch or a WIFI source inside the second building.
