Hi.

I connect to internet using an outdoor USB antenna, but i only have internet on the PC that is connected to the antenna and i want to repeat the antenna signal to have wifi on all the house.

I was thinking to buy a router (probably c7 or similar) to act as AP to extend the signal but i want to know if i can connect the antenna to the router USB port and configure the router to extend the antenna signal.

I can't connect the router to the main router because it's far away, the only way to get the internet signal is by the antenna so it's indispensable that the antenna can be connected to the router.

Thanks!

Hey guy,
I don't think the USB ports can extend signal of an Antenna.
However, you can achieve with another feature called WDS Bridging. It's a function that can extend a signal via wireless.
Maybe you should have a look at the emulator of that tplink router, under Wireless 2.4GHz/5GHz -> Wireless Settings.
